Pros

- Good pay for engineers and scientists - Rochester NY is a great community with affordable housing - Xerox is transforming from a technology company into a solutions and services company, so new employees can have a significant impact on the future direction of the company. - Becoming a decent place for data scientists and computer scientists

Cons

- No longer an interesting place for physicists, chemists, or electrical or mechanical engineers - Lots of layoffs in recent years in engineering and R&D. Meanwhile they are hiring call center employees ay $12/hour - The company is poorly managed at most levels. - It is not obvious that Xerox will successfully transform from a technology company (printers & copiers) into a solutions and services company (Business process outsourcing, Information Technology outsourcing) - Benefits are getting worse over time. The company is maintaining profits by cutting costs. This is a no frills place to work.

Pros

Big company with solid benefits

Cons

Pay is not on par with competition and raises are very hard to get. If you don't get what you are looking for when hired you will likely never get it.
