Pros

There were good people. All the good people have left or were RIF’d.

Cons

No work/life balance. Constant layoffs and cutting of resources and staff. They hire in India , Canada and Europe to save labor costs. CYA and backstabbing culture.

We're sorry to hear you had such a negative perception of our leaders. As you may know, since you left Cerence we introduced new leadership (Dec-2022). We're very excited about these changes as a young, evolving company and industry leader. Since we spun off from Nuance, we have made organizational changes to better align with our broader business strategy and to be closer to our customers. We are proud to have some of the brightest minds in the industry and will continue to do our best to make Cerence a place where our employees feel appreciated, recognized and rewarded. Thank your for feedback - it's what helps make us better!

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.
