Pros

Some colleagues are great to work with.

Cons

The company has been going downhill for several years. Leadership has hired a large number of people in India and offshored many roles, while conducting layoffs in the U.S. at least a couple of times a year. The justification is always the same - “the market is changing”, even though it’s pretty clear that offshoring to India is the main cost-cutting strategy. You can be a strong contributor and have years with the company, but you’re still never safe; it feels like anyone’s time can be up at any moment. All these overly positive reviews also feel suspicious given how many layoffs have happened. Morale has dropped to its lowest point, and many employees - especially engineers, are being stretched beyond their limit. Seems these reviews are inflated or pushed by HR to hide what’s really going on.

Hi Friend. We are sorry that you were impacted by the recent workforce reduction. It's never easy saying goodbye to those who've been a part of the business for so many years. We have a lot of amazing leaders through out our India office who work hard at in-house experience and overall communication. One thing I do want to assure you of is that HR does not have any affiliation to reviews. Our Culture team does. & these reviews are left by employees from all office locations. We wish you the best in your next Engineering role and have no doubt you will make an immense impact to wherever you land.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
