Vantaggi
Preface this to say that the Burroughs of today (2016) is NOT the same Burroughs your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents fondly remember that was founded in 1886 as the American Arithmometer Company and named Burroughs Corp. in 1904. That Burroughs became Unisys in 1986, and Unisys continues to lead the Burroughs's legacy of grand technology today. In 2010 Unisys wisely cut off the tumor which was it's dated payment systems division (checks, cash) - this was unwisely picked up by Marlin Equity Partners (founded only 5yrs prior in 2005) and the name Burroughs was brought back. The Burroughs of today however drags the proud name and legacy to pride themselves and garner customer and media attention under the equity company's control. Burroughs now lives precariously through it's various acquisitions, whilst having no vision nor learning to manage it's own existence first. PROS: Great people! From the technicians to the operational groups; many fantastic and brilliant people. Unfortunately, the praise stops at management. Granted, there are/were a few good managers, but the best and brightest are ignored, leaving or being forced out.
Svantaggi
Top-heavy, ever-changing management structure built on nepotism, greed and hubris. An overly obese middle-management tier built through said nepotism with minimal interpersonal management skills nor training. The best talent are under-trained, underpaid and critically overworked.
