Family oriented environment, everyone is willing to help each other out. Vacation time and sick days are very flexible. You got your own office.

Some people abuse the sick day policy. Company is not doing well on sells lay off happens twice a year.

Advice to Senior Management

Lay off is not the answer to everything ,especially after sell your 400+ engineer to an India company. it's time to face the core problem.

Pros

Solid technology, broad geographic coverage, decent internal tools, many training opportunities, reasonable benefits, some outstanding internal talent, pretty good strategy to migrate to a service delivery model.

Cons

Top heavy management, high cost structure, many silos, lack of integration of ACS into mainstream Xerox, declining global customer demand for print services, arms-length relationship with Fuji Xerox inhibits growth in Asia Pacific, global regional structure is outdated and ineffective.

Advice to Senior Management

Clean house on upper management ranks, reduce cost structure, fully integrate ACS, reorganize regions into a structure that better matches the regional organization of global clients.

Pros

Work in a changing environment

Cons

Low pay compared to other companies in similar industry. Poor medical plan at a high premium. Out source engineering jobs

Advice to Senior Management

The CEO is an advisor to the president on how to create more jobs and within Xerox she has outsourced jobs to India, HCL engineering. Senior Mgt. has reduced Xerox headcount to a historic low. Recommend training on how to run a successful company.

Pros

Name recognition and global presence.

Cons

Political Good old minority club.Vice President in charge of Worldwide Engineering was a secretary to Ursala Burns. Not even an engineer!

Advice to Senior Management

Evaluate people on actual performance not perceived performance.

Pros

Good diversity and encouragement to move around company

Cons

Company is not very good at internally letting employees know what is going on

Advice to Senior Management

don't leave your employees in the dark

Pros

Best and brightest people I have ever worked with. Strong communication from all levels about company performance.

Cons

Way too many mediocre mid-level manager and VPs. Failed assumption that ACS woud save the day. Incoherent pricing and cost structures. No follow through on business plans. VPs prohibit transfer to other divisions so that they can save the headcount, only to have to cut people.

Advice to Senior Management

Take a closer look at the ACS deal - they are now providing lesss quality service to Xerox at a higher cost structure

Pros

Great people and great solutions that you can bring to your clients.

Cons

I have never seen a company that required so much non-productive busy-work of their sales reps. Even the best reps that are killing their numbers are forced to utilize hideous software tools that are extremely time-consuming and take time away from working with the clients. Most of management have never worked anywhere but Xerox, so they don't know how bad it is compared to other sales organizations.

Advice to Senior Management

If someone is doing well, leave them alone! And remember, managers do things right. Leaders do the right things.
