Pros

Work from home in some positions.

Cons

These comments may be common to many service providers so take them with a grain of salt. Layoffs to make quarterly numbers were common, regardless of whether contracts suffered. New hires not possible until contract signed making timelines difficult or impossible to meet. Due to layoffs to make numbers, staffing too lean to fulfill contracts in timely fashion. No development of solutions. Just sign contract, buy equipment, and try to put it in as fast as possible while testing/learning. Mistakes in bidding process underpins budget by millions leaving staff to somehow make up difference and still deliver. Low pay and almost no raises even for rockstar staff.

Pros

The only good part about the assignment was the client I was assigned to work for. Very inclusive, welcoming environment, and they made me feel not like a contractor.

Cons

Unisys was the permanent company I was supposed to transition to after the first 90 days of employment as a contractor. After they finally reached out to begin the transition process (about one month late), they offered an hourly pay rate that was $3/hr less than the rate negotiated on my start date. 4 Months prior, during the hiring process, no such pay cut was disclosed to me, or I certainly would not have taken the job. At first, I thought some kind of clerical error was made, but then the recruiter got back to me and confirmed the lower pay was intentional, and that they would not be able to increase that hourly rate. I refused to accept it, and we went back and forth for weeks. After I told them I would not work for an employer who would do something that dishonest, they came back to me with a final figure of an hourly rate that was $1/hr less than the rate I was currently getting. I again refused, because if they were going to take this long and go all the way up to that amount, they could have done the right thing and gone up a little higher to my current pay. They told me they would reach out to me by end of day.. they did not. Finally, 2 days later after hearing no word back, I had enough of the stress and anxiety and resigned, because I already knew what working for them would have been like. It was a shame too, because the client didn't deserve to have their IT guy suddenly leave them in the lurch, but Unisys did not deserve the courtesy of a 2-week notice after what they attempted to do to me.

Pros

As a Field Service Engineer, your work life would be better if the working relationship between you and the client is good and you are able to handle most of the client support relationships without the involvement of Unisys management.

Cons

Management of FSEs is micromanaged. The management doesn't demonstrate confidence in the ability of FSEs to perform their job task in a professional way. It is not uncommon to be scolded like a child by management. Additionally, the pay is not competitive for this role.
