Unisys

Although like any job there's always plenty to lean if given the opportunity and have enough time after completing the company required tasks which places the tick in boxes for management. Management at Unisys are no longer concerned about there staff or teams, there only concerned is themselves and nothing more. 
Climbing the corporate ladder at the expense of others, accepting recognition for work completed by others, blaming others for errors made by themselves is a good indication of how you are treated by management. Don't get me wrong, there are a few remaining managers that appreciate and look after there staff but they are slowly disappearing.
I was owed almost $5000 in expenses and when submitted was not accepted because they were not submitted within the allowed time frame.

I enjoy talking with people, so I am the designated person to deal with all the tough clients. Being a stock trader, I can be very calm and cool when the stock market turn into a bloodbath. Considering that clients are too easy to handle.

Literally, everyday is a learning day for me if its not work related then its life related. I am quite chill at work either the CEO or my colleague next to me. The hardest part of the day would be not happening much at work or quite time over the holiday time. 

The most enjoyable part of my work would be either being nominated  as the start of the month or winning the table tennis (ping pong) after being challenges

Worked for Unisys for 13 years, in different roles, from BA, PMO, Testing, Consulting and Resource Management.

Has own well developed methodologies with great examples.  Methodology broad and flexible to fit with the client requirement.

Lots of in house courses, with everyone required to do the Project Management 101 training.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at Unisys - met some very skilled people who taught me a lot.

started by organising work for the day, checking parts
calling customers and organising times
arriving on time 
talking to customer about faults and what i was going to do
complete the call or order more parts
return at the end of the day to log used parts back into logistics
i learned how to greet people and help them fix an issue
I learned to be ontime and manage my time with each call
I found the Management to be the best i have ever worked with
Co workers were fantastic
the hardest part of the job was finding parking in Auckland city, not good
most enjoyable place of work and  people, i  just enjoyed learning fantastic

Pros:

Learnt how to process Warranties, replace laptop screens, desktop parts, software upgrading etc...
Flexible working environment
Decent people
Opportunity to gain higher position
Most enjoyable part was meeting all the new people in the Army

Cons:

Management were lacking in people skills
My wage was absolute minimum
I was offered a traineeship but Management took 12 months before anything happened
Worst part of the job was the pay

Many of the mid-level leaders here were great, but the previous senior managers had no clue about how to lead and motivate technical people. 

This organisation was led by the stick, and no carrot in sight to in-cent people to be their best. This makes is hard for anyone that understands true leadership to make a difference to the organisation.

No typical day at work, you could be crawling under desks or sitting behind one all day.
Management are fantastic at a regional level and Co-workers are generally easy to get along with.
Hardest parts of the job are lack of accessible documentation and a wide variety of tasks undertaken by the company without proper training.
The wide variety of challenges you come across on a daily basis allow growth and experience.

Managing a team of 43 technically focus customer support staff. Ensuring SLA's were being met and in most cases exceeded. liaising with Senior customers and clients regularly to address concerns, plan for future requirements and update on projects.

Typical day at work include supporting Citrix, Exchange task, closing up a project and creating CR to decommission server(s) 
Learned more about Govt employees we support mostly the Executive assistants
Management is ok but still learning
Workplace culture - every end of the quarter BBQ
pleasing so call partner in  this account
when I have time to go lunch with colleague

Although Unisys American CEO openly promotes equal opportunity, fair work ethics, etc it really isnt in touch with its staff in Australia. My direct manager was great but I would rarely hear from him. Not that thats a bad thing from a micro-management perspective,  but it also gave the impression of there being a zero care factor.  High staff turnover speaks volumes.
