Nuance reviews

Frequent acquisitions of other companies shatter company identity and employee loyalty. So many different branches you will never know all the services/products the company offers. A strong sense that employees are dispensable. Shockingly high compensation of top brass while employees continuously laid off or denied merit-based salary increases. Employees don't feel comfortable expressing their opinions of how the company is run, and management does not genuinely solicit employee feedback. Frequent and unnecessary process changes.

The company is completely and solely driven by margin and market share improvement. Given that fairly little (to almost none) effort is spent on process improvements, the way to improve the margin is by turning the vice on the existing employees and increase their work load. Middle management is sitting between a rock and a hard place because they don't really have any power. All they can do is the execute the margin requirements from above, with the effect that their efforts are directed at pissing off the fewest people under them so they don't quit. There is also fairly little organic growth. The business model of Nuance is that of a 19th century European empire, where the path to growth is either purchase of threatening companies, or club them to death with lawsuits.
