Pros

In retrospect the only reason I can think of to work at Nuance would be for a newbie transcriptionist to get actual on-the-job experience.

Cons

I was told by my TCM (supervisor) that I was on a list of employees whose production and accuracy made them eligible to go to the next level, proofer. But I didn't stay. I'd put a huge effort into the job, learning and balancing many new systems daily, dictators so difficult no proofer could help, all of which would have been just part of the job, but what made it impossible was a paycheck that was less than a co-worker's daughter's first fast food job. I was performing consistently in the top 3-4 out of 25-30 coworkers but I was skipping supper because I couldn't afford groceries. The punishing culture caused employees at different levels to undermine each other! This company exploited my skills as a transcriptionist to be able to charge their clients (hospitals) big money for my work and pay me peanuts.

Pros

Good salary, and the creative team was comprised of very talented people. Unfortunately when the creative team began to dwindle, so did the perks of being employed here.

Cons

Very "corporate" would be the best way to put it. The team I was a part of was great, but the company culture as a whole was very stiff. Especially for being a tech company in Silicon Valley you'd expect more, but unfortunately that was not the case.

Pros

Salaries and benefits not bad..... hard to be too positive with this very fractured, large organization. New leadership in healthcare division promising for the future.

Cons

There are many layers of bureaucracy, poor execution and acccountability. Literally told one answer from one division, completely turned around and undefended by another. Very difficult once you need internal support..... HR, operations, development, marketing specifically. If you work in the sales environment, offers of the latest wizbang sales training is where the leadership places most of their energy yearly in a very expensive, showy frenetic annual meeting with extremely long hours. If these funds were redirected in development and implementation of new product timelines, regional or divisional sales meetings would produce better results . Commission structure and plans change every year, when it should be more predictable. Often complete lack of understanding of the differences in enterprise sales versus the sexy consumer products. Heavy, heavy layers of management which needs to change. Are the shareholders paying attention ???
