Garbage Company run by a Garbage CEO

Pros

To be fair, Exsilio had some positives and can be a great place to work early in your career. As a consulting company, you get to work on multiple projects, learn cool technologies, and gain a strong skillet relatively quickly. Other than that, a lot of the co-workers are pretty cool people and probably the only reason that would make it hard to leave. Exsilio occasionally does catered lunches, happy hours, and game nights which can be fun.

Cons

While I said the people at Exsilio are generally cool, this does not include the upper management, who are some of the worst snakes I've met in my life, with the chief snake being Bryan Baker, the CEO. This large cowardly man berates people for no good reason, and curses out in the open. He shows up at random hours, looking disheveled. He barks orders at his subordinates and is always angry. There is high turnover and people had been leaving at a rate of 2 per month, for the past several months. The company is bleeding money. They are losing projects within their main client, Microsoft, and the sales people have failed so far to land anything. Very recently, the company laid off almost 20% of their workforce, gutting the company right before Christmas. The news was delivered by his subordinates, who are also leaving, while he hid in his office and avoided eye contact with anyone. Nobody knows why they bought so many extra desks recently while they laid off a large portion of the company. Apparently its a ghost town in there. This is a sinking ship and I recommend staying far away.

Pros

If you’re just starting out or are a junior level in the consulting world, this isn’t a bad place to be. Use the time to develop your skill set, make connections, and learn from you coworkers. You can gain a great introduction to the world of consulting based on the projects on which you are placed. Leverage this to bigger and better things.

Cons

If you’ve spent time in the industry, look elsewhere. A client, a large eastside software company, recently instituted an 18-month vendor rule requiring 6 months off between engagements. After the 17th month of our engagement, Exsilio let several of us know we’d be laid off at the conclusion of our 18th month. Seems typical for the industry, except for the fact that Exsilio often cited how “different” they were by bringing these types of employees in-house until they could be placed on a new contract. It was an idea that was hammered home in interviews (I know, because I used to say it to candidates), company meetings, and a “look how good you have it” and "we take care of you" attitude around raise and bonus time. In the end, my guess would be they were stuck in a potentially unprofitable situation and had no choice but to sacrifice their integrity to get out of it. Before we were out the door our jobs were posted on the Exsilio career site for new candidates. Our manager, having just seen half their team get laid off, left for vacation a week before our last day without saying a word of anything. Not a “goodbye”, “thanks”, “good luck”, nothing. After years of service, it was disappointing to say the least. There are other issues and red flags, most of them have been covered at length in other reviews on this site. I will say that although I saw much of the same things about the CEO that were mentioned in these reviews, I believe he has finally taken the idea of improving his people-skills to heart. Only time will tell, but I hope he continues to improve and grow.

Pros

No pros about this company. CEO doesn't care, doesn't speak to anyone and if he does speak to anyone he's a like a 90 year old grinch

Cons

I heard there are not even 4 solid walls any longer. Building had damage, CEO is scamming insurance company and blames everyone for his ruined life and crummy sales. He doesn't take ownership or apologize for being wrong. He hates everyone & while he thinks this is Microsoft, it isnt. He scammed our last year holiday party even location out of hundreds of dollars & then yells at everyone.
