Pros

Cool products, great technology, some teams are bonded and productive. Salaries high at upper levels. Working remotely is popular and accepted. Ambitious people can ascend quickly.

Cons

Many divisions dysfunctional, with cold, remote leadership. Very sink-or-swim atmosphere, no coaching, training or trusting relationships. Difficult to meet others not on your immediate team. Frequent company-wide layoffs, and general high-stress and unhappy mood in the building.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to see you enjoyed the products, team atmosphere and amenities. It's unfortunate you did have some challenges with the organization and we hope prior to you leaving you shared your thoughts and concerns with your manager or HR, whomever you feel most comfortable with. Like many large companies layoffs do occur. With the design of various coaching tools Talent & Organizational Development has implemented over the last year at Nuance, training and coaching is a top priority and focus for 2018.

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
