Nuance reviews

Work-life balance is tough, plan to work very hard.

As a Database BI developer, I was under the supervision of a chain-smoking mood-swing tyrant who treated her reports as children. At first, it seemed like a collaborative atmosphere but that must have been the image they wanted to project in the interview, I regret that I took the job. After the first couple of months, I began to feel like a rooster in a feeding pen whose head was about to be lobbed off. I had two hours to complete any given task, even if no data existed and I had to make it up. The problem was that for every two hours’ worth of work; I had to spend 4 hours on red-tape documenting everything I did. A task was considered completed if the paperwork was completed; Again, even if we had no data and I had to contrive validation testing out of thin air. I thought my opinion counted, but when asked how long I thought a task would take to complete, I got the long face and ridicule if it wasn't two hours. My advice is don't quit, wait for the layoff package. This place is a sweatshop and a nightmare.
