Raises Please

Pros

Flexible schedule if you are under a good manager who doesn't micromanage and you do your work. Benefits are ok. Career advancement is pretty much based on how hard and effective you work. Not a lot of limits if you are good. ESPP is good.

Cons

Salary is low especially since we haven't had a real raise in almost 2 years. Sorry but the 30% of 6% sucks. They work you to the bone here if you let them. When it used to be 10%+ raises it was worth the effort and loss of personal life but now with 0 raise and even if there wasn't a freeze at best it would be 6% doesnt cut it.

Great Benefits at Nuance, but easy to get ignored

Pros

The benefits at Nuance are pretty awesome. For instance, the fact that they reimburse for continuing education (with the condition you recieve an A in the course) is pretty nice. It provides you with some possibly upward mobility. However, that mobility is nearly impossible at Nuance itself because many employees feel ignored. Being ignored has it's pros. For instance even during deadlines, management may forget to check up on you. The employee stock purchase program is pretty awesome. Not only is it a great way to save money but it provides some incentive for the employee to achieve company goals.

Cons

Besides seeing your stock going up in price, there really isn't a lot of rewards given to employees for acheiving anything. Many people in the HR department need to take some human-resource education courses themselves. They constantly screw things up, and then get very angry when you confront them. Maybe they are overworked, I'm not sure. The worst part of working for Nuance is right now they have frozen all merritt raises, yet every single week they manage to aquire a new company. I understand that aquisitons and company growth are important to a company's success, but a little attention to current employees and their conditions should be first priority. Me and many of my colleagues haven't received a raise in years! However our performance reviews were all very good. It's dissapointing to get emails every week from senior management that exude excitement over the newest company they bought out, when you are struggling to pay your increasing taxes and energy costs.

Good and bad

Pros

Salary Flexible Schedule (depends on your manager, of course) You may be able to work from home (again, depening on manager)

Cons

- No one cares about the end-consumer (only about the clients) - Some people yell and scream during meetings (managers). This is done in such an unprofessional manner that you don't know if it's sad or funny - Morale is down
