Unisys Reviews

Pros

Good work-life balance and a very relaxed work atmosphere. Recognition whenever good work is done.

Cons

Since Unisys India is a pure cost center, work content and pay are not very good. Management lacks the vision to drive Unisys to levels achieved by similar IT companies. Also HR policies are not good. Recently there was a decision taken to increase the notice period of existing employees from 1 month to 3 months. Similarly, decisions on changes in benefit plans are taken at any time, affecting existing employees. What is offered at the time of recruitment is often changed later by modifying HR policies.

Pros

When I first started at Unisys at the beginning on the new millenium it was a great place to work. Lots of training and opportunit to advance your skill sets. Pay was good and there were opportunities for OT and shift differential pay. The benefits were very good. Management was genuinely interested in its employees and the quality of the service provided to Unisys customers. Then in 2006 everything changed.!

Cons

Unbeknown to most employees, Unisys started a subsidiary called U.T.S. At the end of 2007, most non-management and non-collective bargaining employees were given the option of being hired by U.T.S. or being rifted. The result was an immediate reduction in pay, terrible benefits and a concerted push to place all accounts offshore. As a result of this business plan, almost all non-governmental accounts were removed form the U.S. call centers and placed offshore. This resulted on the closing of at least one call center, Austin TX.
