Burlington, MA

Former Employee – worked at Nuance as a contractor for less than a year

ProsAwesome products, sharp talent, fun casual work environment!

ConsReally needs to do more training. Desperate for a better On-boarding and New Hire process to avoid retention. Better systems and ATS to utilize. Updated Org Chart.

Advice to Senior ManagementTeam should be more collaborative. Nuance has some amazing talent and products, and if the company could tighten up on easier processes, and training, you would be a PHENOMENAL Company to work for.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Burlington, VT

Current Employee – been working at Nuance full-time for more than 10 years

ProsNew technology, interesting work. Many internal teams are good to work with.

ConsWhile upper management continues to get obscene bonuses and salaries, the peons in the field are expected to work 60-80 week. No overtime for most positions, no comp time. Constantly told to work faster, get more revenue recognition - they think if you can implement a project in 120 days, you can cut that to 90 and if you cut it to 90, you can cut it to 60 and come to think of it, get it done in 30 days. You'll get lectures from the CEO during quarterly meetings telling you you're special and appreciated, BUT sales are never high enough, and you're never really giving it your all. then you read that the marketing manager (marketing!) is pulling in over $7 million salary.

Advice to Senior ManagementYou have a lot of people out in the field working their butts off for you. Salaries are decent, but not when you factor in the number of hours you have to work. Managements seems completely and totally out of touch with what actually goes on with the worker bees.

Current Employee – been working at Nuance full-time for less than a year

ProsWorking from home. Flexible schedule. Easy to get time off as needed. You do get benefits and PTO.

ConsRidiculous amount of trouble after you are hired to get started. Insane amount of training time. Terrible pay (no worse than other MTSOs). Poor communication system. Hard to reach "bonuses." Have to work one day every weekend (Su-Th/M-Sa shifts).

Advice to Senior ManagementHave a little more respect for those who bring in the money that makes up your salary.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
