Pros

Great people and culture - very relaxed and cooperative atmosphere. Commonly has people retiring after a decades-long employment. Make a good effort to listen to and encourage employees through various programs for recognizing things like excellence, artistic talent, submission of ideas for improvement, employment milestones.

Cons

Significant growth results in growing pains in a number of areas. Somewhat remote location may hinder recruitment going forward.

Pros

Appears to be an innovative company from the outside. Lots of access to customers and research. Strong upper management push for new tech initiatives. New CEO might help. He just started.

Cons

There is a hierarchy of UX designers with titles that separate them in skills and respect in the org. I was not allowed to really contribute or engage and was actively silenced because of my title as Sr., not being a Lead or Principles UX designer. This is not a healthy or how UX works. However, this may have been the EXLynx team specifically. The product team holds disproportionate control over UX decisions, including managing UX staff directly. I found the environment hostile to UX professionals joining new. The UX org has 5 hierarchical tiers UX including UX management, which creates significant bottlenecks. I came in with 15 years of experience and after two months - I was unable to do my job because of the harassment from a fellow designer.
