What do you like about working at Unisys?

"I used to like working for Unisys simply because it had toughened me up. They somehow train you to work more and be more like a machine and not a human being.

"Don't trust anyone. Prepare yourself for the unexpected. If you are coders and think you could rely on your team to getting your job done, please think again. You are your own team. Just get your work in, present your whitened front teeth and go home to your family. My so-called teammates cost me my job. Again, do not trust others for the completion of any task that carries your name. That might just save your bread."

"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?
