More Cons than Pro's, that's for sure - Recensione dipendente - Finance presso Nuance

Too centralized - Paul has an eagles grip on every expenditure, new hires. He should be more focused on growing the company than whether or not additional resources need his approval. Raises are rare, unless you are senior management. Company wide bonus is approved by B.O.D. ever year, a portion of which is related to company performance, however not one employee knows what those goals are, until the fiscal year is over and we are told we only hit 75% of "The Number". Employees are overworked (average Finance employee works anywhere from 60-75 hours a week). There is NO work/life balance! Communication is horrible! Integrations of acquired companies are a nightmare and not very well completed. Seems managements only concern is acquiring rather than how well we can integrate (poor integrations do affect customer relations). Infrastructure is extremely poor and needs serious investments. Morale is overall unacceptable. Many employees/managers have been there since Scansoft/Speechworks days and continue to be small minded and not think outside the box. HR Policies are great for a company of 50 people, not 6,000.
