Pros

We're well paid! We do fun things outside of work!

Cons

Do you have a personality disorder? Are you flexible with facts? Do you make the people around you feel bad? Are you more talk than walk? Well do we have a leadership position for you! You'll fit right in with our resident Leader of Can't Stop Talking Ever (unofficial title), a vindictive mean spirited unprofessional and incompetent person who is responsible for demoralizing everyone within range! Put an arm around our tenured Leader of Piling Up HR Complaints (unofficial title, of course)! He scored his first promotion by blaming others for his bug infested app, and managed another promotion despite a well documented history of doing nothing and treating people like toilets. The worse he does, the more he gets. Private coaching anyone? Get enough HR complaints and you can have that, too! It's not his fault, after all, it's the complainers' fault that he attacked them. Darn victims! Let's talk about diversity, and what it means at onX. Diversity means hiring women! I think we have 3 or 4 minorities in the company. The common excuse is that Montana lacks minorities, but we hire out of state employees and offer them remote positions or relocation. We just don't hire people of color! Because diversity means hiring women! And women that don't support diversity and exclusion are yelled at by the Leader of Can't Stop Talking Ever, ostracized, and otherwise treated like a nuisance!

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the note on your approval of pay and external activities. However, I can see that we as a company haven’t done enough internally or externally to communicate what is important and what we are working on. First, we are a learning organization. We are passionate about feedback and offering various mechanisms for team members to learn, grow and improve their ability to contribute to onX. Those mechanisms may include internal coaching, external coaching, book club, internal development events, LinkedIn Learning resources as well as other personal growth opportunities. As a company, we prefer to remain curious that as an organization we can improve, evolve and change to become an even better place to work. That is certainly true in our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Internally we have had recent conversations about the broadening of recruiting efforts to include additional focus on minorities and veterans in addition to women. Similar to many other tech companies, we are trying to figure out the right strategies that move the needle in our company and in our location. While our diversity (in both women and diverse candidates) has continued to increase each year since we started measuring in 2018, we remain dissatisfied with our progress overall. We have increased the % of minorities at onX since the end of 2018 and have held steady with a slight increase in the % of women while still growing the organization. onX along with other tech companies in Montana are having conversations to understand how we can move the needle on diversity within our respective organizations. On a more positive note, onX committed to the Montana Equal Pay initiative in 2019. We are working on our latest stats now but are very proud that all team members, including women and minorities, are at near parity in pay across the board based on level and job role. If you would like to discuss in greater detail and/or you have some additional thoughts on how we can improve and/or you have interest in being a participant in driving these continuous improvements, I would welcome the opportunity to sit down for a chat.

Pros

OnX is a great company to work for. The treat employees well and provide a challenging yet engaging work environment.

Cons

I don’t have a whole lot to complain about. At times, company policies and actions can feel corporate, but nothing that would ultimately turn me away.
