Pros

You get to work with some very smart, very experienced people. The CEO, Ed Coleman seems to very much care where the company is headed and is a very easy person to talk to. I would say many people have their business "heart" in the right place. On a personal level salary and benefits are good, but perhaps not great. in this day and age a decent salary is tough to come by, so my appreciation to this company for that.

Cons

This company has shrunk so much in the last 10 years that it has become impossible to get anything done with any level of quality or pride. We are basically set up to fail. I get the same comment from my colleagues in many areas so it isn't just me. You are on your own which, sometimes can be a good thing, but in this case isn't. This company continues to think and act as if we were one of the "big guys", but those days are over. Work / life is completely out of balance... you get decent vacation time, but you can never take it. Don't expect to coast in this company (not really a con)... life is more of a frenzied scrambling and hanging on for dear life.

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

If you enjoy mission driven work, the clients are the best part of the job. Many employees are smart, collaborative, and genuinely committed to delivering quality outcomes. The work itself can be meaningful, and there are a few strong individuals who work hard to honor client commitments and carry out contracted deliverables despite internal obstacles.

Cons

Across the last 4+ years, Unisys has experienced consistent leadership failures across nearly every Business Unit (BU). These failures show up in a lack of accountability, unclear direction, and decisions that directly undermine client trust. Employees are often unable to demonstrate or sell the capabilities Unisys markets, including those tied to industry awards because the organization cannot validate or deliver them. The company undergoes employee reductions every 60–90 days, creating instability, eroding institutional knowledge and workloads being consistently shuffled to other already overburdened staffers. In Q1 of 2026, Unisys dismantled its public sector sales team, resulting in the loss of long-standing clients and a steep decline in delivery credibility. A major concern for job seekers is the company’s approach to employee protection. Over multiple years, I personally experienced and am aware of numerous gender, race, and ADA discrimination complaints submitted through the Employee Ethics Portal. Unisys has one individual responsible for reading complaints and conducting interviews, and in each case I witnessed, the situations were left unaddressed. Out of necessity, multiple layers of leadership across different BUs were additionally informed, still no action was taken. Instead of intervening, leadership allowed retaliation to escalate, resulting in financial loss, emotional distress, and professional harm to multiple employees. Advice to Job Seekers: If you are considering Unisys, approach the opportunity with clear expectations. Some employees are talented, and some clients are rewarding, but the environment presents real risks. Employment here requires independence, resilience, and the ability to navigate unclear direction and limited support.
