Neustar Reviews

Cons

The changes happening in the company.

Cons

Recently slashed key benefits (401k, WFH policy, PTO)
Steep attrition rates with little plan to backfill roles
Unprepared training among new hires
Company culture among certain offices and teams is toxic
Limited internal resources to help engagements. There's simply not enough people to service clients correctly.
Significant increase in office politics among team leads
Constant re-orgs, at least one annually for multiple consecutive years

Cons

This is a company that is mostly profit driven and where employees are disposable.

New CEO is here and is looking to cut costs by implementing "employee-hostile" but classic corporate tactics such as cutting off benefits and perks like less PTO, drastic changes to the 401k, a new inflexible Work From Home policy, reduced bonuses, etc.

There is a palpable feel that management is more interested in pleasing investors than actually caring for his employees which is contrary to what they constantly preach.

Big layoffs in 2018 and more layoffs are expected on 2019. No replacements are being hired.

Cons

New executive management making some bewildering policy changes.

Cons

Hard work not rewarded. Inefficient process. Incompetent leadership.

Cons

Personally, not much. I reported directly to several VPs, and once to an SVP. They all protected my back, and kept me away from some of the politics going on in the company at the executive level.

However, I did observe other co-workers (not in my group) have issues with managers/directors/VPs that were NOT good supervisors. Poor communication, lack of clarity on job expectations and roles/responsibilities, playing favorites with their staff, etc. So again, your supervisor matters.

As state above, my work-life balance was excellent. However, some folks in other groups did not have such good balance. Again, your group and supervisor matter. Ask directly during the interview process.

Cons

Neustar has been building a niche for itself after the loss of its largest product line. Due to this, there are many changes in the company. If you are willing to ride out the changes, you can go far.

Cons

Not very organized but glad Charlie is there now.

Cons

standups at US times

Cons

Ignore all the good comments about work/life balance, these benefits (and more) are being taken away and there is a strong lack of trust across the organization. reduced PTO for new hires and tracked work from home days are now in place. No bonuses are being granted as we did not hit numbers, understand - but this was poorly communicated. New CEO - nothing impressive so far and good luck turning the ship around.
