Pros

Reasonable work hours, at least some semblance of team organization

Cons

Horrible management. I've spent the first 2.5 weeks just staring into my laptop and dying of boredom, as nobody could be bothered to actually give me Git access, despite me checking on them and asking every day. The person who was tasked with introducing me to the company was an intern, who was working there for less than a month at that point; his instructions on using company's portal and entering data turned out to be completely wrong. After 2.5 weeks I decided to quit as this was a joke; as of one and a half months later, I still have not received a dime for the time i wasted at this ridiculous company. The only way I actually managed to get their attention was by threatening legal action, and even after that they drag their feet, delaying the payment as much as they can. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

Pros

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Cerence. I learned a lot, grew significantly, and met many great people from around the world.

Cons

The number of reorganizations and layoffs took a huge toll on the company culture and morale. The company's vision and strategy was hard to pin down as well, which made my job more challenging in a less than ideal way. It was also frustrating that the tuition reimbursement advertised upon signing was actually dependent on department budgets and discretion, so I never had the chance to use it.
