Pros
The company offers good technology and is open to innovation. At the time I was employed by Nuance, it was expanding quite rapidly, had a good share price and therefore good career prospects for an employee. Nuance allowed employees to work from home and time-off and salaries were fine.
Cons
Too much growth through acquisition. This resulted in continual product sun-setting, competition between divisions in the company and a large degree of chaos. Management kept changing making it difficult to develop a long-term relationship with bosses. In the time I was with Nuance, I never figured out what vision or cultural direction the company wanted to follow, apart for growth and increasing the share price. Employee training and development was limited. In general too many decision were made by Paul Ricci, i.e. poor delegation. This led to slow and sometime non-optimal decision processes.
