Pros

-Benefits were quite good when they transitioned from Cigna to Blue Cross -Amazingly cool technology -You'll work with some incredibly smart people -20 days PTO, 10 holidays a year

Cons

-They will work you into the ground. The stock price has collapsed over the last few years, which results in layoffs, which means more work for people who aren't laid off because "times are tough". Meanwhile, Paul Ricci pays himself 50 million dollars a year. -No, seriously, they will consume as much of your life as you will allow. They do not believe in work/life balance. At all. -They'd rather push something out quickly than push something out correctly -Acquisition centric. Constantly acquiring other companies and their workers and doing nothing with them. -Advancement opportunities slim because managers carry over from acquisitions as part of the deal. -Every year, they find a way to screw employees out of their annual bonus. Meanwhile, again, executive leadership raids the company's coffers for 90% of its operating profit as salary. -PTO is worth nothing when they won't let you take it. -Lots of top talent has fled the company for much greener pastures -Company's future is in doubt, with its largest customers making their own competing products to eventually dump Nuance and directly go against them -Stock options worthless because stock price only goes down

Pros

Cutting-edge technology applicable to all aspects of today's society; global company, international set-up and teams, top employee culture level, great people. Lots of scope for creating and innovating whatever your specific job is.

Cons

Management put off decisions ad infinitum, hide behind the lowest level employees, do not take any weight onto their shoulders. If you're entering as the result of an acquisition, it's only a matter of time. Managers practise passive aggression. Most of one's time ends up being spent on totally useless reporting and paperwork and tracking just for the sake of it. 24 hours on the clock are not enough.
