Vantaggi
My job was very flexible. Nuance allowed me to work from home or from the office at my discretion. I also appreciated the freedom I was given to manage my group in the way I liked, and without interference from upper management. There was a great sense of teamwork the first few years I was there, but this became less so as more acquired companies came into the mix.
Svantaggi
Strategic decisions were made with little input from the employees that were affected most, and where there knowledge and insight of the affected employees would have helped avoid many failed acquisitions. There is also a policy of laying a certain percentage of the employees off each year that creates a sense of unease while you are there. It is also clear that Nuance is the CEO's fiefdom, and that rewards flow disproportionately to those on top.
