Pros

Great networking and a great introduction to the corporate world.

Cons

Not much growth inside company.

Pros

In the 70s and 80s Sperry Univac was about growth, travel and opportunity. The company continues to be a major presence in the market today. I never considered leaving.

Cons

Since the merger of Burroughs annd Sperry the company has continued to downsize on a regular basis. Lately much work has been moved off shore which is the main reason I am no longer with them. Employees have been hired one year and laid off the next.

Advice to Senior Management

Better evaluation of what of what needs to be done to keep the business running effectively rather than short sighted, ill thought out cuts.

Pros

Unisys has a flexible atmosphere, not high stress, good work-life balance and many employees working remotely. Remote access and conference calling are common. There is a strong management embrace of information sharing through internal social media technology, though it is not widely used by employees.

Cons

Unisys, or at least the Federal Systems division, seems to be going nowhere. HQ is staffed by an older workforce, many of whom seem to be here simply because this is where they are. Morale-building efforts to counteract austerity measures of the last few years are very weak, there is little in the way of loyalty or a sense of a Unisys identity. Recognitions beyond a boss's "attaboy" are rare, salaries are stagnant. Middle management priorities seem to bounce from one crisis to the next, rarely in line with the larger company direction.

Advice to Senior Management

The continued financial strengthening of the company, and the focus on a few key service areas, is helping employees to feel more secure about the long-term health of the company. The employee performance review process and the annual goals are not trickling down to drive performance at the field level.

Pros

Good Pay
Good working environment.
Freedom to employees.
Friendly managers.

Cons

Tough to crack Internal Movements.
Lack of training for new hire's.

Advice to Senior Management

Please make sure no favorites are played in Internal Movements

Pros

good work/life balance, unlimited sick time, good benefits, flexibility to work from home

Cons

not a great vacation policy, non-long term Unisys employees treated as outsiders, not many merit raises, old timers kept to themselves and were not very friendly or welcoming of new employees, not very good at marketing their transportation products

Advice to Senior Management

get better marketing management to improve the marketing and sales of your transportation products. there is a lack of knowledge of Unisys transportation products in the industry outside of Unisys

Pros

Flexibility, working with really smart people, solving clients most complex problems.

Cons

Stock has not gone up

Pros

Company has strong position with clients. Teams care about clients. Teams are good at reacting to needs. Professional teams at Director levels and below.

Cons

BU/s continue to be internally focused. Some business unit leaders rarely even speak to clients other than the ones they already know like Banks they use to work for. BU leader tend to insulate themselves from bold people / activities until they are proven,,, then take credit. For those that are bold in middle management, they don't last long, too threatening to leadership.

Advice to Senior Management

If you want to grow, take a hard look at the EC qualifications. At least a few of them have a track record of losing ground even during booming economies. These are the people leading your business units.

Pros

They have not missed a paycheck and the health benfits are good.

Cons

Better communication as it relates to the goals and directions of programs.

Advice to Senior Management

Consistant and proactive communication would help a lot.

bad company policies, senior management is not good

Advice to Senior Management
