Pros

Great team, flexible work schedule and ability to work remotely, decent benefits - health care / vacation / dental / vision. Lots of experienced and knowledgeable people, our building has a new cafeteria/gym/ relaxing space.

Cons

Infrastructure is aging and not updated - slow server connection speeds, minimal computing power, office space and ventilation system is struggling in places. Layoffs are common and just happened again. Length of service benefits have been cut over and over, so what you work for today may not be there tomorrow. With all the changes to the board and CEO, the "new direction" is to outsource everything and lay off all the people who know how to make things work well. But this is the same old direction we tried 15 years ago, that didn't work. Soon there will be no one left at Xerox who understands the day-to-day business and how to make products - all the experienced people will be gone or working for vendors.

Pros

Company provides great opportunity for career advancement. Many of the current managers started from entry level positions. Work is hard however, nothing worth achieving comes easily.

Cons

Turnover in the sales organization has been constant. No work from home flexibility available.

Thank you for your review. Yes, we have the BEST employees and our employees interface directly with our customers. Great customer service requires human interaction and AOT still maintains the human interaction over the automated robot customer service seen elsewhere. We want to promote from within whenever it's the best decision going forward. This helps keep the talent pool inside the company growing. Yes, we do have turnover in sales and we keep working on ways to lower it each year by hiring the best candidates and giving them outstanding training to be successful.

Life inside a dying company

Pros

Still a few good people around. Work life balance is good if you don't need to be energized / excited about the work part (if for no other reason than management has largely given up, so most individuals are free to choose how much time they put into their work vs. home life).

Cons

Lack of leadership / vision. It's been over 2 months since the new CEO was appointed in a (minority) shareholder-led revolt. In that time, we have received zero direction other than "keep doing what you're doing" and vague suggestions that direction will be changing in the future. Morale is non-existent. Extreme & continuing reductions in force over the past 10+ years have eliminated much of the engineering and marketing capabilities of the company. It is likely past the point of no return now -- too much knowledge has already left, or is embodied in people so near retirement that it will never be passed on to new employees (even if the company was hiring any). Future product development spending is fragmented and unfocused. There is simply not enough money to fund both ongoing engineering for existing products, and be successful at developing new ones. This is starving the future revenue pipeline and virtually guaranteeing the eventual demise of the company.
