Pros

Only reason to work here is if you have 30 years of seniority and are hanging on to retire. The good ole boy network is the only way to either keep your job or gain any chance of growth.

Cons

Horrible, and I mean horrible place to work. Unless you are a brown nosing, uneducated individual who enjoys 0, yes, zero merit increases every year, this place is not for you. Most middle management has evolved from fixing machines in the 70's-80's and reached their Peter Principle 20 years ago. Individual initiatives are squelched and/or stolen from you and by all means don't try to implement any kind of positive changes. These are perceived as "boat rocking" and usually not understood by the people who are still telling stores about Univac 1. I was a Sr. Director at this ill managed albatross for over 25 years. They have lost most of their major clients like Dell and spend more time trying to find ways to reduce cost versus generating revenue. YOU CANNOT CUT YOUR WAY TO LONG TERM PROFITABILITY! Unisys is a company that is in a continual 15 year downward spiral and has no chance of ever recovering. If you are a young, educated individual who is trying to make a difference and start a career, DO NOT come to Unisys. You will end up leaving within 1-2 years. First you are young and second you are educated both are traits, looked down upon by middle management. Unless you are a good ole boy or crawled around inside machines in your past....Run Away as Fast as You Can! there is a better life out there and that goes for all of you still there who think there is nothing better. Trust me there is. Get out before they push you out to prop up next quarters margin.

Pros

My boss was great. I was not there long but I felt really bad leaving because having a great boss is rare. I had great work-life balance. I liked what I did. I left because I was offered better salary and healthcare benefits (that I really needed at the time) somewhere else.

Cons

Cons will depend on the team and the team members. Mediocre benefits.

Pros

The company does a good job communicating what their ongoing and ultimate goals are.

Cons

Advancement opportunities don't seem to be the most clear or abundant, but it's also convoluted and could heavily depend on which team you're hired onto since it's a contracting company.
