Is Anyone Truely Happy at Nuance? - Cindyroo

Posted: Aug 07, 2012

I would seriously like to know if anyone is happy working at Nuance.

happy to have a job - but not happy at nuance

[ In Reply To ..]
Every company that I have worked for has been taken over by Nuance, so while I am not happy with Nuance, I have a job and its paying me crap to work it, but at least I still have a job. Which is probably what Nuance wants while top dogs are making a lot of money at our expense, they know we are "stuck" just trying to make money to take care of our families, the little bit that we do make.

Not falling for it - happy

If I say I am happy at Nuance, I will get flamed within an inch of my life, trolled, insulted, accused of being an a$$kisser, a suit, etc., told I am a liar.

Happyish - anon

I think the QA/QC is grossly unfair.

I think the pay stinks.

I like my TL.

I like my account.

I like the platform.

So I am not ecstatically happy with it but it's tolerable.

i agree - southern MT

I agree with you, I am "happish" lol! I like my TL, account, and platform, but for my first paycheck I made in two weeks what I used to make in one day. Stinks is not the word, I am heading for forclosure at the speed of light. I need to type at least 2000 lines a day, but there is no way right now and QA is on me like white on rice.

That not just with Nuance...thats anywhere on these - boards.

This is kind of ridiculous.

The so-called "happy and successful" MTs are "flamed" and "trolled?"

Is it possible that when you state how great your job is and how happy you are that there is inevitably some snarky comment about those who aren't happy having some fatal character flaw?

I agree that people can get a wee-bit touchy on this board, but it is a 2-way street. Trolls seem to come with the big ol' smile just as much as with a grouchy scowl.

My opinion...from someone who's staggered around the - block a few times...

I believe that, in sum, Nuance is no better and no worse than the rest of the nationals. By "in sum", I mean that one company will be a bit better or worse in some respects than another company, but viewed in total these don't amount to any real differences - they're merely distinctions.

And any Nuance executive reading the foregoing paragraph should (but probably will not) understand that it amounts to a stark condemnation of the company - and in particular a condemnation of its leadership.

It is nothing less than a declaration of executive ineptitude because it predicts that Nuance will continue to be mired in the competitive mudhole where mediocre companies battle clumsily for position while their feet continually slide out from under them.

Executive ineptitude, because they incur enormous unnecessary costs while trying to earn pennies in profits. These costs are directly related to their gross mismanagement of their production resources - meaning their MTs. They suffer unnecessary turnover, incur added recruitment and training costs, lose institutional knowledge every time another MT hits the door, and...

...they don't have a real clue about why clients are perpetually dissatisfied. And if you don't think Nuance is constantly hearing from their clients, you're mistaken.

Inept management of production resources.

How's that working for ya, Nuance?

Not valuing employees is a very common mistake by so many companies and they usually don't figure it out even when they go down the tubes.

Just Pay Us More and stop wondering why we are not happy - already

It's crystal clear that it's the money. Duh.

not just the money, QA/QC - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I actually could live with the money, if the QA/QC was better, more consistent and, well, fair.

That is my ONLY complaint about Nuance.

Just a note out there to those searching for ï»¿companies and looking for opinions. I've been an MT for 8 years, worked for many nationals and a few smaller companies and recently hired at Nuance (working 2 months there now, full time). I had a hard time sifting through all the bitterness on these boards to find anything positive about any company but I am finding that I am very happy here and just wanted to throw that out there for others looking for work.

Is there anyone that is happy at Nuance? I really need benefits, and I was considering just working 30 hours (the minimum to qualify for benefits).

I filled out a "profile" at Nuance a few weeks ago, not sure if I was interested in a job there or not. I was contacted a week later with a couple of offers pending passing their test. I was not interested with the two positions offered, but she suggested I take the test anyway in case a position opened up that I was interested in. I have read such negative things here about Nuance, I am wondering if I should even bother. I no there is no perfect company, but is ANYONE happy with their ...

Hi. I had applied and accepted a position at Nuance years ago. Got a better offer and went elsewhere. Now I keep getting e-mails about re-applying. My questions, after reading these boards is: Does anyone like working there, make a decent level and is not stressed out? From what I read it sounds like "truly the hell of transcription companies". I don't need a job that is more stress than it's worth. Please advise....Thank you. ...

I am just curious, how on earth does this company or any of the other well known nasties stay in business? You would think eventually they would all run out of MTs to go through and then what? Most of them say, or at least I think I have read they say, they won't hire newbies for the most part. By the way, you all warned me about another one of the big nasties and most people only lasting a few weeks but I went, "Pshaw...that won't happen to me." But alas, it did... just not as ...

So much negativity on this board. Is anyone happy here? I can say that I am grateful for my job here at Nuance. I don't feel the QA is out to get me. My mistakes are my mistakes. Work is there. My TSM is wonderful. I get good PTO hours. I have had some bad QA weeks and have been frustrated but I have sat down and focused on how to make this better. I have slowed down my dictators and removed all distractions from my work space which has allowed me to avoid costly mistakes while improving my ...

I'm actually getting ready to take the Nuance test this evening and started reading the posts and now I'm having second thoughts. I would be working on the clinic side from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST Sun-Thurs and now I'm wondering if I'll be wasting my time since it seems like there won't be any work. Is there anyone who has worked at Nuance for a few years and is happy there? Any other positives? Thanks in advance!! ...

Who in their right mind names a company "Happy Transcriptions?" In this day and age, all I see is "sad" MTs and, in my opinion, if "Happy Transcriptions" is still happy, they can only be messing even more with us poor "sad" MTs. All I can say is I am so "happy" I am so close to being on my way out of MT! ...

I've been at TTS for almost 3 years and I have nothing but positive things to say about TTS. I never have to guess what TTS expects from me, and I do my best to deliver that on a consistent basis. Communication flows freely and efficiently. My team leader and 2 shift leads are EXCELLENT managers in my opinion. Everything I invest in my job comes back to me and then some. I can recommend TTS to anybody unapologetically. ...

I am surprised at just how many or your are miserable with what you do. I am a new MT ans I am also having trouble finding work. It's not easy. I can see that having editing to fall back on would be good. I have read the posts about don't do this just to work from home. I have small children and my only choice would be daycare if I went to work somewhere, which would eat up half my pay check. Sometimes it's not just money, sometimes it's fo ...

I've read tons and tons of negative complaints about VR, but are there people out there who actually like it?

Any thoughts? ...

Hi, everyone. I was just wondering if there are any MTs out there that are happy with their jobs and are able to make some good money in this profession. I have read lots and lots of posts, and it seems like a huge percentage of the posts are about how bad people's jobs are and how little money they are making. I understand people need to vent, but there have to be some MTs that are happy and making money. I recently graduated from one of the top MT schools and ...

I understand how frustrated many people are with the way things are going with MT jobs. I am not posting this to make anyone feel worse, but to let people know that there are some good jobs in MT. I work for a private local medical office. I had been worried, too, as our office offered voice recognition to docs and some use it. A lot got frustrated, mostly the ones who want their notes to be correct, and went back to using our services. I had even been looking at online M ...
