Pros

In retrospect the only reason I can think of to work at Nuance would be for a newbie transcriptionist to get actual on-the-job experience.

Cons

I was told by my TCM (supervisor) that I was on a list of employees whose production and accuracy made them eligible to go to the next level, proofer. But I didn't stay. I'd put a huge effort into the job, learning and balancing many new systems daily, dictators so difficult no proofer could help, all of which would have been just part of the job, but what made it impossible was a paycheck that was less than a co-worker's daughter's first fast food job. I was performing consistently in the top 3-4 out of 25-30 coworkers but I was skipping supper because I couldn't afford groceries. The punishing culture caused employees at different levels to undermine each other! This company exploited my skills as a transcriptionist to be able to charge their clients (hospitals) big money for my work and pay me peanuts.

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
