11 paid holidays 80 hours paid time of if your brought on after 1-1-18
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Unisys?
Allow greater opportunities for further education and a better emphasis on health and well-being both physically and mentally. The work place can be extremely draining and it would be helpful to have someone to talk to on a regular basis.
Offer a health and wellness fund for employees.
I would create a health and wellness fund for each employee to allocate to gym-membership or similar health club. Physical health is so crucial. It increases productivity and improves mental health as well.
What are you most excited about working at Unisys?
I wouldn't say excited, but thankful that I have a means to have an income and am able to cover my basic living expenses.
I am happy that I get to continue learning about design principles.
I would like to work on meaningful projects.
How do you feel about going to work at Unisys everyday?
Dread would be the best way to describe how I feel. It is much, much better when I am working from home. I am not quite sure what I can do to change this, but I will keep working towards a solution.
I dread going in to work.
I dread it most days.
How challenged are you at Unisys?
The other designers are great at giving feedback and ways to improve.
Moderately. The tasks are not extremely interesting.
I view challenge as being given learning opportunities. Without several of my team members having extensive design knowledge this role would be futile. That makes this worth it.
What do people at Unisys think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
He seems largely detached from the day-to-day operations. We receive corporate emails from him and others in the executive team. He is well compensated.
When looking at the ratings it seems most employees approve of the CEO. Our CEO is great at communicating with external media sources. Our company is profitable. Our stock price does not reflect well on the efforts of our company.
CEO needs to come back down to Earth. Coming to the corporate office once and a while and espousing the benefits of collaboration (i.e. no telecommuting) while cobwebs grow in his office is not helpful.
How's the work life balance at Unisys?
Work-life balance, as a whole in the U.S. is not great. It is what you make of it though. Productivity and overall quality of life would be better if employees of all levels had the ability to take more time off and travel/experience life outside of the workplace.
There is flexibility if you claim it. Many teams are work from home, which is a great perk. Our team has core hours and most everyone is on-site.
You need to be firm - the work/life balance is what you allow it to be.
What benefits does Unisys provide?
401k, health, dental, vision, flexible working hours and the ability to work remotely

Does Unisys drug test or do a background check?
Top Employee Response
YES!!! to both
Yes
What's the office vibe like at Unisys?
It is a very quiet and somber environment. It is not somewhere I look forward to going.
Some people are content to sit at a computer in an office all day and work. Others take their work home.
How does Unisys make decisions around promotions?
I am not sure. I think those who are "promoted" are hired in and do not come from the inside.
You may be recognized for your work, but you may not be promoted.
How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at Unisys?
Not easy. Mostly due to the fact that this job is extremely draining most of the time and extra energy would be required to step outside of the day-to-day routine.
I am holding myself back because usually by the end of the day I am so drained I don't see my friends or family as much as I would like. Something has to change.
What are the team outings like at Unisys?
Softball games, game nights and some other outings
We have a softball league, game nights and sometimes other outings.
What kind of people succeed at Unisys?
Those who like corporate structure and semi-dull projects.
Those who are already in a high-level of authority or position. They will receive the most compensation.

Our intra-team feedback is excellent. When working on a project it is not uncommon to receive answers and rapid design feedback.
So-so

Semi-private cubicles and other stations to work
Corporate and mostly dreary. We have low-style cubical desks, which are bleak.

It is probably fair. Ui/UX in the corporate setting is not an extremely well paid field.

Teams get along well. It can be challenging when many people work remote- few employees in the physical office.
