Pros

You are basically your own manager onsite. If you are familiar with what you are doing it is an easy job. Being an onsite tech will provide you with various problems so your work is constantly changing and doesn't get boring too quickly.

Cons

Communication between management and employees is strained. Getting feedback from employees that are actually doing the work is almost non-exsistent. There are people that are hired to do work that they have no clue what they are doing, this is because Unisys doesnt want to pay for the experienced people.

Pros

I can only speak for the Montgomery Alabama Federal division. The Pay is comparable with others in the area and as long as the government customer is pleased with your work you will be employed. The employee morale is about average. coworkers are content and not looking for other employment. The customer is easy to support for the most part. Work hours are routine with little to no over time. If for some reason the position is removed from the contract, the local management will try to place you somewhere else within the company. If that is not possible they will work with other contract companies in the area.

Cons

There is little interaction with employees and management. As long as the customer is pleased with your work and your time card is submitted on time you rarely here from management. There is very little feedback and no recognition to speak of. Lateral moves are almost non existent unless it is requested by the customer. I have seen several employees unhappy in their position and ask for a transfer, but was told they couldn't because the customer doesn't approve. It is only a matter of time for these unhappy employees to find employment with another firm. In this scenario all parties loose.

Pros

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to work in a time capsule where the year is perpetually 1983 but the workload is unmistakably 2026, this company has you covered. Imagine being handed every responsibility under the sun — with none of the authority, direction, or compensation that would normally accompany it — and you’ve got a pretty accurate picture of daily life here.

Cons

Do more with less” isn’t a motto here; it’s a survival tactic. You’ll be expected to juggle roles that would normally require three departments, all while receiving instructions so vague they might as well be written in disappearing ink. If you enjoy guessing what leadership might want and then being told you guessed wrong, you’ll thrive. The still have pension obligations that they keep meeting by cutting off body parts to sell to make the "C" level team whole. Selling the company for business is not an option since no one needs bad dept and no future. Signing one new client in a year and losing three is a math problem anyone can figure out.
