Pros

The people at the front lines are dedicated to success of the company, but are not empowered nor enabled to do so.

Cons

mid-level management is unhelpful, upper-level management is not committed to success. Too much time and money spent on politics.

Very fractured company

Pros

Benefits offered are decent, including PTO to part-time employees. Interesting technology products. Lots of potential.

Cons

The PTO benefit is almost useless since taking PTO is very challenging. When you do take PTO it is expected that you stay in contact. If you don't stay in contact, it is known because your inbox will overflow and begin sending bounce messages. Compensation is only ok. Bonuses are paid in stock options, which is not good when the company's stock is so volatile. There is lots of potential, which is evident by looking at the job postings. However, it is nearly impossible to get an interview, even if you have completed all the education and training available to part of the company in order to qualify. Yes, just part of the company has assess to the training. The NTS portion of the company does not have access to the educational programs Nuance offers. The company truly feels fractured, which becomes apparent when researching and reading reviews on this company. There is no continuity and definitely no ultimate goal the company is pulling toward. The company culture is a puzzle. They claim to support work/life balance, but that truly doesn't exist. Senior and executive management seems to be at cross purposes from middle managers and the workers. Truly, there are too many levels of management at this company. Simply way too many chiefs, many of whom are not good planners or communicators which is part of the fractured feel. Discussing concerns with management, even HR, only ends up putting the individual in the cross hairs. As one person noted in another review, they may listen, but they don't hear the concerns. They have acquired too many companies and not completed integration of many, which is likely part of the issue.
