Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Fantastic people, especially in the Federal division, loads of experience and cross-learning opportunities. There is much to be said for their legacy and what you can learn from it.
Cons – Complete management flux, lack of creativity and vision for growth. Still trying to hold onto the past.
Advice to Senior Management – There are a lot of old dogs in the company, if you want to progress you will need to find new life blood in the ranks without destroying the network you have. A tough balance

Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than a year
Pros – Lower management was generally very good, and my coworkers were generally nice.
Cons – The company is on shakey financial footing, and is bidding contracts in an unrealistic fashion.
Long story short, they are working their salaried staff to death to compensate for their lack of planning, and so that they do not need to hire more head-count or pay hourly staff overtime. They weren't even apologetic about this. There was no training, and miniscule or no raises.
Advice to Senior Management – If you want your business to be successful, you need happy, well-trained and loyal technical staff.

Current Employee – been working at Unisys full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – -Excellent remote connectivity makes for good work/life balance.
-Company has cut a lot of dead wood and streamlined many processes.
-Diverse and Talented co-workers
-Better than average starting salary
Cons – -Strong internal focus deters revenue growth
-Archaic corporate culture
-Ceaseless good old boy politics; not what you know but who you know
-Top heavy, ineffective senior management
-Must negotiate a great starting salary as increases are practically non-existent
-Constant cost cutting and layoffs; company has cut roughly 50% of jobs in the past 6 years except at the executive level
Advice to Senior Management – Current CEO was hired to make the company viable again, no question that he succeeded. New leadership with proven skill in growing revenue is now needed. Until then the company remains in constant crisis mode, promoting no career growth for the average employee due to constantly changing (or non-existent) goals and objectives.

Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Great staff on customer site
Cons – Exec mgmt too internally focused rather than on the Customer needs. This is the primary reason for not winning new contracts.
Lack of leadership direction.
Advice to Senior Management – To move the company forward, Need to reduce ineffective exec mgmt . Too much unnecessary, No added value mgmt. has resulted in non competitive rates.

Current Employee – been working at Unisys full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Perfect for work / life balance
Cons – Platform to enable employee communication at the developer level across projects is very poor. The focus is always on the Management and other processes. Being an IT company I feel the focus should be on developer focused practices.
Advice to Senior Management – Give developers at least 10% of their time to do experiments and research. This is will help build systems faster and probably smartly. Every developer should share their 10% research time with their team, no matter how insignificant it is.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than a year
Pros – The location (Boise) was nice, the customer was reasonable, the work was stimulating, and most of my co-workers were friendly, professional, and good to work with.
Cons – The turnover at the highest levels of the project management team was problematic, and there never seemed to be much, if any, support from the corporate level
Advice to Senior Management – Unisys sold off this division of the company, so no advice would be relevant at this point.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Unisys full-time for less than a year
Pros – This place is very professional, and they treat you as such. The salary is great and they overall feel of the place it great.
Cons – The cons of the place are not any different than any other call center. There are good days as well as bad and it is always good to remember that if you cannot handle people that are upset, this is not the job for you.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Good people to work with however once they become managers they can no longer be trusted to be honest. They tell the political truth which changes as quickly as the wind blows.
Cons – Very political, much like high school all over again
Advice to Senior Management – Be honest and open with your employees about existing contracts and their positions
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
