Pros

It is a good place to work if you don't expect any kind of recognition or possibility of being promoted, if you have lack of ambition, a low self-esteem then Exela is your dream workplace.

Cons

- The office in Egham is full of untrustworthy people with lack of professionalism. It is also uneasy to get there if you don't have a car and if you have a car traffic is a real nightmare. Egham's office is a nest full of snakes, poisoned and shameless people. It is a toxic environment to work in. - Inadequate training for not saying no training at all. - No possibility of professional growth. - No promotion. - Gender discrimination. - No respect for female employees. - Male employees take advantage of female employees. - Your managers will never support you and human resources is a bad joke. They only care about themselves. - No new technologies. - Working here is a fast way to be tied to old technologies with ZERO possibilities of having a successful professional careers. - Undoubtedly, this was my worst working experience. I started working at this job with all my energies, committed to my responsibilities and all what I got was disrespectful, humiliation and harassment. I couldn't be more disappointed about a place and also about the kind of people who work there.

Pros

Santa Monica (corporate) office has a chef. Lunches are homemade and delicious. Fantastic hours: can arrive at the office around 10:30am and leave around 5:30pm.

Cons

There is no work to do 90% of the time. Employees are paid to go to the office so that the office appears "full" for the one in-person meeting the CEO has per week. There were multiple months where I received/sent less than five emails per month. All strategic initiatives were positioned as grandiose by the CEO; after each initiative was discussed, it was never raised again and no work was done. The only initiatives that were actually pursued were those related to trying to trick lenders into extending Exela, a highly-distressed company that was heading toward bankruptcy, additional debt to pay off the interest payments of its existing debt facilities. However, I imagine (and hope) Exela operates differently once it emerges from bankruptcy this summer (2025).
