NCR Reviews

Former Employee – worked at NCR

Pros – The fellow associates are the only reason why anyone would work there. Also you need to be the right cultural fit for this company - you must not only talk the talk but walk the walk. Free loading gets spotted quickly which is a good thing.

Cons – Company Politics rife, too much hierarchy in senior management, cost takeout instead of growing the business, only interested in making shareholder numbers

Advice to Senior Management – Vision is the number one priority of any company and unfortunately NCR failed to succeed - its a shame it was a great company some time ago.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at NCR full-time for less than a year

Pros – It's been around for over 130 years and is not going to go away. Corporate can be good and bad. Good because there is great job security (unless you do something crazy) and you can expect to be there as long as you want. Pay is good and PTO is very good.

Cons – Don't expect to get noticed. You would have to do something extraordinary (most likely on your own time) to even get on the radar. If you don't like corporate life, you probably won't like all the extra stuff you have to do (endless notes and details on disparate systems) just to do your job.

Advice to Senior Management – Open up to new ideas and invest in refactoring of under performing and badly written software solutions instead of just getting enhancements and bug fixes. Most of these can be eradicated by having a well written code base.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
