Business Outlook
Pros
Cool technology: Over the last several years Nuance has developed or acquired a lot of IP around speech recognition technology and is now a clear leader. The company is growing, with offices worldwide, so there are opportunities to change locale without leaving the company. Many of my co-workers are very bright and hard-working.
Cons
No clear company vision, constant growth translates to disjointed mission. It is not clear how all the pieces fit together. Trend of hiring from outside rather than for promoting from within for key positions. This leads to a feeling that employees can never be sure that their positions are secure since a future acquisition may marginalize their unit.
