NCR Reviews

Pros

The pay was good but the per-Diem was bad. You really dont have much contact with upper management.

Cons

Scheduling was poorly managed. Last minute cancellations would put you out of work for a week. If team member needed time off, you would sit home.

Advice to Senior Management

Your people are your asset. Treat them like such. Not a number.

Pros

Hard work and diligence can net rewarding learning opportunities and rapid educational development.

Managers don't usually micromanage. They rely on periodic status updates and metrics. If your ideas achieve end results properly, within budgets, and by promised dates, managers are generally flexible with methods used and accepting of fresh ideas.

If you do solid work, are a team player, and are into social climbing, it's possible to advance quickly once your name is known and word gets around.

It's possible to cross-train on other technologies and gain knowledge that is generally not made available within formal job constraints found in other companies.

If you show initiative and a strong desire to learn other technologies and skills, people will often help others learn the basics of their main skill sets.

Cons

Most people I worked with had long hours and were in understaffed groups.

Upper management often worked late hours after leaving the office and expected their people to do the same.

Remote access to systems can lead to routinely working at home, after hours, and on weekends.

Good work/life balance is something NCR says it firmly believes in but I have seen the exact opposite occur once people sign on.

Employees receive extensive lessons in fending for themselves.

Advice to Senior Management

Top talent and good people won't stick around unless they are treated well and valued.

If people are good at what they do, try to retain them. Work them regular hours, respect their families, and give them time away from work. Give them positive incentives to perform at peak levels rather than rewarding with more busy-work and other peoples' duties. Give them opportunities for education and personal growth. Invest in your people and give them reasons to stay.

Pros

Reasonable pay, company car with private use, many great people to work with (even though its more and more difficult to meet up with co workers these days)

Cons

Too much red tape, more and more admin/management responsibility placed on technicians. High management turnover, leading to continuous changes according to the whim of the current management.

Advice to Senior Management

Everything in life is not about the bottom line or your precious bonuses. Dont come to NCR just for a couple of years to suck up as much money as you can and to flatter your own egos and then move on to the next stop on the management merry-go-round. Stay for the long term or stay at home ! You cannot grow a company with unhappy employees, all the feel good webcasts and announcements do nothing for morale while behind the scenes our working conditions are continually being eroded.

Pros

Decent healthcare package, access to company vehicle, good for people who like to work alone and enjoy problem solving. On the job training, no degree required.

Cons

You can spend several days at a time and never see another co-worker. Performance is measured in minutes, and metrics are more important than employee satisfaction with their work.

Advice to Senior Management

Technicians are people, not automatons

Pros

Company Name Recognition, good on resume.

Cons

Constant Reorganization
Good Ole Boy Organization - Still some hiring based on who you know...as a result Management is not qualified and employees have to suffer.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat everyone fairly, stop the good ole boy network completing and give everyone a chance if they are qualified.

Pros

so specific timelines are there for working here, there will be no dress codes here in ncr that is the best thing i like here..

Cons

facilities are good but thre is no place for ground for playing cricket or any other game, it would be good if we got one

Pros

Good people; have made quarterly numbers regularly.

Cons

Company thinks in terms of 90-day cycles.

Advice to Senior Management

Greater focus on long term business priorities should be focus.

Pros

Great Work life balance that all I can say.

Cons

Pay is bad, benifits are bad work is not rewarding at all.

Advice to Senior Management

For what they don't care about the people only the bottom line.

Pros

Good Onsite- offshore business model

Cons

compensation is not upto the standard

Pros

A multi-national exposure for an operation environment, with challenges that demands the most of your talent. The chace for efficiency is constant, which allows to improve and implement changes or new processes.

Cons

An overall heavy structure, which implicates a high level of allocated costs within the regular operations, creating a challenge to compete being always the highest cost in the market.

Advice to Senior Management

Globalization implicates the provisioning of feasible solutions for each market requirements and business environment; a centralized strategy will only express the sucsess of such market, which might not necessary be replicated outside its own frame.
