"Company is declining, no major growth."

What do you like about working at Unisys?

"Independence in the workplace. The environment is good with seasoned professionals around you."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Have fresh ideas and be able to adapt to situations."

What don't you like about working at Unisys?

"Lack of resources. You are now the expert as there is no one left to guide a product. If you have questions as to why something is being done, there is no one to ask for best practices. Few jobs have multiple people to use, so if someone is gone (vacation, RIF or just another project), the job cannot be done effectively. Lack of hiring, no new personnel. Youngest person in our department was over 24 years of experience. Average age was over 50 for our department. All new hires are being done abroad. Who will pick up the pieces in the next several years when others retire?"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"New technology needs new thought. You cannot take 25+ years of experience and have them grasp current concepts. Morale is low due to constant RIFs, there is nothing to give the employees 'hope'. Without new hiring, Unisys will have trouble surviving."
