Pros

Great place to get education. Communication with management is great and the opportunities to learn new skills make this company a great place to work.

Cons

The work structure is different from other companies but it does not affect the work. Password management for the intranet is not uniform and the single sign on only work for some sites.

Pros

Many talented people work there. It used to be a great company to work for.

Cons

High turnover of talented people. Unisys seems to have difficulty retaining real talent becuse of their low salary and poor management practices. Poor communication between management and lower level staff . Instead of fixing poor management practices and waste, Unisys chose to save money by freezing pay increases, cutting back employee benefits, cutting and reducing sick leave and reducing health insurance coverage. The health insurance used to be one of the best available, but now is almost as bad as not having insurance. I lost respect for Unisys when they outsourced their internal helpdesk to India. IT support is supposed to be what Unisys is all about.

Pros

Great legacy, smart technical employees, global exposure, marquee clients. I was there for 15 years, and have travelled to over 45 countries, and worked with phenomenal people. With clients like NASDAQ, American Express, US Federal govt, UK Metropolitan Police, The variety of interaction is unparalleled.

Cons

Financial performance, complex matrix structure, unfocused portfolio. Unisys suffers from a small company behaving like a big company syndrome. At one point it was the second largest IT firm after IBM, but miscue, lack of direction, missed opportunities have made its future less than bright. There is too much overhead, and disjointed portfolio, and a lack of investment in the marketing and sales.
