Pros

only unlimited PTO and thats it

Cons

we all know that meme where clown looks at mirrors reflection and says that the harder he works the more company appreciates him? You got the idea. Yup, thats exactly how you feel there: working overnights (hello late night releases or company needs to have something done ASAP), working overtime and over weekends. Since Nextiva had VPs change - its sinking ship! All workforce from US talent - being laid off every 5-6 months. And imagine level of stress when you must work a lot, hard, unpreciated and not be sure if tomorrow they decide to reduce another 10-15% of workforce and move it to offshore in India, They build a product that will never work because guess what? They change directions every day, strongly believe prompt engineering is best for fast deliveries and nobody cares about quality of code and product. In fact if you start discussing risks and explain defects - you will be at risk of termination as uncomfortable person...

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.
