Vantaggi
If you are comfortable with compromising your morals and being a "yes" man you may be able to do well there. Some departments in the company are more family friendly than others while others are managed by Attila the Hun. If you are getting into a good department with supportive and competent management than you should do okay, though I will admit that there are few of those at Nuance. In the Burlington location, they are in a fairly new building, so I guess for a plus I would say that they are close to shopping. Also if you are real good at "sucking up", you might get invited to the Chairmans Club!
Svantaggi
Very political, many management team members either lack the experience to be at their role or the fortitude to disagree with the top when they should. A few management team members lack real life experience qualifying them for their role and do not value the input of real live experience from subordinates. Kind of like when I want your opinion I will beat it out of you! Certain organizations, and here I mean departmnents, thrive on sucking up to the department VP and throwing everyone else under the bus. As they look towards becoming a billion dollar company the need to look at the leadership team and bring in some real experienced managers. Unfortunately some of those that have the ear of Paul will never let that happen since it will (should) end up with them losing their jobs as well.
