Former Employee – worked at Unisys full-time for more than 3 years

ProsFantastic 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.

ConsComplete management flux, lack of creativity and vision for growth. Still trying to hold onto the past.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere 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

ProsLower management was generally very good, and my coworkers were generally nice.

ConsThe 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 ManagementIf you want your business to be successful, you need happy, well-trained and loyal technical staff.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Wilmington, DE (US)

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 ManagementCurrent 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.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
