Xerox reviews

Upper management almost universally arrogant and completely out of touch with the fact that companies succeed because they're able to employ top talent, provide competitive salaries with at least semi-regular merit increases & decent benefits. I've been here 7 years and have received a onetime 3.2% pay increase. That was during the ONLY year in which the higher-ups approved companywide merit increases. In those 7 years I've endured and survived 5 major staff reductions. My first team, in creative services, was cut in half twice in three years. Very oppressive atmosphere. Extremely middle-manager heavy. It's virtually impossible to innovate.

Lack of visibility and growth. No conception of what quality work is and who does it. Impossible schedule typically slip, no one is responsbile. "Pay for performance" is a joke. Attempted to outsource most of the engineering functions (perhaps they realize they don't know how to manage engineering). Lack of vision and focus. The "core competencies" (mechanical engineering/optics) they eliminated to try to focus on their "core incompetency" software.
