Pros

Very good benefits (health insurance, vacation, stock purchase plans). Usually a good work/life balance. The office has a good location downtown. You can play with some of the best tech in speech recognition.

Cons

Product management has no vision. There is too much focus on R&D and IP, because R&D sucks at D (development) and nobody knows what to do with out IP other than selling their rights. Experience is the only thing that's recognized, not talent or quality. IT is incompetent. There are highly politically isolated groups, even years after a merger. Few good "vertical integration" engineers or "overall vision" managers; everybody's narrow-minded and isolated.

Pros

Great benefits, some good people.

Cons

Too many seem to be hiding behind corporate rules and procedures to avoid working, the company as a whole seems to have no direction. They fancy themselves a competitor to Google in some ways, but have no concept of what that really entails i so many ways. They are busy adding more red tape instead of eliminating it. Still making the transition to the Internet era. The company probably should be split up, there are too many pieces of the company that are unrelated to each other to have a coherent strategy.

Pros

the pros are 7000 MT strong work force...sounds good right? Anyone that large must know what they are doing right? NO. WRONG. They can't find their backside in the dark with both hands, a flash light and a yahoo map.

Cons

Nothing works correctly...contact IT and they say yes LOTS of people are having that issue. They do not, however, offer any solution to fix the problem, nor are they seeking a solution. Nuance thinks they can redefine transcription...and they sure can...unfortunately in their incarnation very experienced MTs make less than minimum wage, are talked to and treated like indentured servants or a retarded child. Their experience means nothing to Nuance. Instead it is like the army where they attempt to break one's spirit...and in that, they are indeed expert. Employees have no self-confidence, no self-esteem and morale lower than a snake's navel.
