Unisys Reviews

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

Pros – Global company with opportunities to work outside your home country, Partner discount and benefits scheme, leave entitlements, flexible working hours, local management

Cons – the biggest drawback to working here is the lack of training and experience of some staff combined with a lack of communication and guidance. the training most staff receive is only as good as the person who trained the person who trained them

Advice to Senior Management – Simplify the processes for accessing the online employee portal and reporting time sheets and leave. Have a suitably trained and experienced training team.

Current Employee – been working at Unisys full-time for more than a year

Pros – Unisys don't just talk about work place flexibility, they live it and breath it, which makes a nice change. It is an environment of "we trust you will get on and do it". You need to be fairly self motivated to work here and get your head around a matrix organisation but once you do, it all falls into place.

Cons – Having such great flexibility means the fibre that can hold teams together (i.e. the social aspect) can begin to come apart at the seams. As a company they need to gather people together more often and work on encouraging employees to connect more often.

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

Pros – Fantastic 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.

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

Advice to Senior Management – There 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

Pros – Lower management was generally very good, and my coworkers were generally nice.

Cons – The 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 Management – If you want your business to be successful, you need happy, well-trained and loyal technical staff.

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 Management – Current 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.
