Dow Jones & Co. Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Great history and brand reputation."

"I worked for Dow Jones (FACTIVA) for 18 years. It was a wonderful company to work for. I used to tell my new hires that if they didn't learn something new every day, they just didn't want to. We were on the cutting edge of technology and the learning opportunities never stopped. I enjoy the relationship that we had with our developers. I believe that I worked with some of the brightest and most talented people available. We put out quality products because we cared about what we did."

"I really enjoyed the people I worked with and the projects I worked on."

"Poorly managed at the CxO levels. Individual business units were managed much more professionally. I would definitely NOT recommend this company to anyone looking for a position."

"I really enjoyed my time at Dow Jones. Its a great company with a vision of a start up. They have a vibrant team work spirit and people are more than willing to help if you get stuck in a project."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Do not take the job unless there is a 401k match, or unless you are completely desperate for work. Also make sure they tell you completely about what your schedule will be before you accept the job, because you might end up working nights, weekend nights and holidays."

What don't you like about working at Dow Jones & Co.?

"The location of the office is remote and terrible, in a depressing and boring small town, more than an hour from major cities. The haven't been cost of living raises in years and there's no 401k match. The company needs to figure out how to survive, but the company culture is too resistant to change, although some people are trying to make it happen. Many of the people I work with don't even have smart phones, and this is a media company. Also, many of the shifts have terrible hours, nights, weekends and holidays, and there's no attempt to give extra compensation to those people or to make life tolerable."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Cost of living raises and 401k match, at least. Also, encourage a change in stagnant company culture and lack of experimentation. Either hire more people or reduce the product."
