They just ask us to put joining enthu in LinkedIn but gift no goodies to show-off. 7. There is a lot of pressure to work on things that you don't know. 8. Work life balance is not handled. 9. Have to work on new technology domain if you are new to that and expert in other technology. 10. Onshore team is not cooperative, they are not easily available.

Pros

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Cerence. I learned a lot, grew significantly, and met many great people from around the world.

Cons

The number of reorganizations and layoffs took a huge toll on the company culture and morale. The company's vision and strategy was hard to pin down as well, which made my job more challenging in a less than ideal way. It was also frustrating that the tuition reimbursement advertised upon signing was actually dependent on department budgets and discretion, so I never had the chance to use it.
