Pros

Start-up like culture and agile environment, sharp focus on quick business impact, staying afloat and surviving the split from Xerox.

Cons

Very uncertain environment at this time of transition. Conduent is yet to discover its core principles, culture and values. Just getting started on its diversity journey at global level (much work needed in India). Actively discouraging research talent by coming down hard on banning representation at any external events including scientific/academic conferences which are the bread and butter for us. Hopefully this is temporary, but needs to change. There's also currently a salary freeze, so, performance-based annual increments are not happening. This is mostly to be expected from a company that's getting started, but I wish it would restore normalcy asap. There's also a lot of workforce reduction and people quitting, resulting in overburden of folks who are sticking around. Overworked and underpaid is not at all a sustainable situation! Not for the employee, not for the company, not for its clients.

Pros

Paid on time, provided equipment, decent benefits from day one, nice co-workers

Cons

Sweatshop mentality of the supervisors, threats of demotion/termination for medical leave, random layoffs when calls didn't justify hours, with those same hours shifted to supervisors to keep them active. Unable to print paystubs, had to request everything through a supervisor, and provide copious amounts of private information to have the request honored. Corrosive environment - I left as soon as I got another offer, gave 24 hours notice (and I've never, ever done that before). Unless you're on the verge of homelessness or starvation, avoid at all costs.
