Cerence AI reviews

Poor Communication: There was a significant lack of communication between departments, which often led to confusion and delays. Important updates were frequently missed, and feedback from employees was not adequately addressed by management. Lack of Career Development: Despite the company's size and potential, there was very little emphasis on career growth. Training programs were limited, and opportunities for professional development were few and far between. Employees felt like there was no clear path for advancement. Work-Life Balance: The work culture, at times, demanded long hours and excessive workloads, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This was particularly challenging for those with family obligations or personal commitments. Management Issues: Leadership at Cerence particularly in my department, seemed disconnected from the team. There was little guidance or support from supervisors, and constructive feedback was often lacking. Some managers also showed little empathy toward employees' concerns or struggles - Human Resources was not any better. Toxic Work Culture: There were instances of office politics, lack of recognition for hard work, and favoritism that created a less than ideal work environment. This led to a demoralizing atmosphere for many employees. Forcing employees back to the office. Terrible site leader in Montreal but I believe he is no longer there so that's a plus for those still there. They think that a foosball / Ping-Pong table make the company culture - they are looking at the wrong things. Lay-offs, turnover of CEOs and who knows how many CFOs not very reassuring.
