Pros

There is no pros for this type of company.

Cons

1. Its an organizations where everything is wrong. Since it became Cerence, there has been unimaginable change in working and culture of organization. Started with incompetent CXO team, they give jobs to friend and relative only. All old people resign or fired, work culture of hire and fire, in May 450 people fired. 2. No recognition of good work, people are promoted only on the basis of flattery and how much they are slave of manager. No one is ready to hear or give justice to you, no process and HR does not exist. No salary increase since 2018, no body know when it will happen. Provident fund is fraud, you can not transfer or take money out. People who left company are still fighting to get PF. 3. Office location keeps on changing, without thinking about employees, they tell some other office location and then change it suddenly. No permanent office till now, changed 6 office locations in last 9 months, and operating from temporary office, no one know final location of office. 4. When all companies ask to work from home, they will force you to come to office. You are asked to work for 18 hours per day and on weekends. Benefits like insurance is just 3 lakhs only, nothing else. No work life balance. I do not trust this company and people.

Pros

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Cerence. I learned a lot, grew significantly, and met many great people from around the world.

Cons

The number of reorganizations and layoffs took a huge toll on the company culture and morale. The company's vision and strategy was hard to pin down as well, which made my job more challenging in a less than ideal way. It was also frustrating that the tuition reimbursement advertised upon signing was actually dependent on department budgets and discretion, so I never had the chance to use it.
