Advice to Management

Good Management . Inter country transfers should be allowed to retail high talent.

Pros

Competitive salary (during initial offer), good benefits for new grads, nice office location, free coffee and sodie pop.

Cons

Too many management layers. Not enough resource filtering -- good resources are leaving because bad/incompetent people don't feel the need to improve.

Advice to Management

Be more cutthroat and reward ones who are very obviously outperforming others.

Pros

Salary is competitive. Benefits are awesome! Personally my managers have been very supportive and fair towards me. Can't say the same for all managers at Nuance from some colleagues/ex-colleagues testimonies. Location of MTL office is a plus. The impact of my work is satisfying. In my division, you know that your work will be used by thousands of people.

Cons

Teams are always understaffed. Hiring could be better both in terms of quality and quantity. While Nuance strives to maintain compensation parity among employees based on seniority, competence is not necessarily used as a factor. This can result in highly performing young people being rewarded less than average/low performance people who have more years in the business. No or very limited team bonding... activities aka Nuance does not spend much on its team's victories or on building team chemistry. Lack of planning & clear directions from mid-level management. For the engineering leaders, culture is more about "do what you gotta do to make it work in the short term" than "let's do things properly to ensure efficiency and better results in the long term". This leads to unpaid, overtime hours way too often for full time employees. By extension, this also affects work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Reward top employees better so you can retain them. Improve hiring process. Make sure goals set by upper management is being properly implemented by mid level managers. Reward teams generously for their successes.
