I left nexa a couple of months ago. Initially, I had no intention of writing a review because the company simply didn’t matter to me anymore. However, I recently saw a post on LinkedIn that shocked me, and it only reinforced my belief that favoritism is deeply rooted in nexa.
Promotions and decisions are often based on personal biases rather than merit. Recently, a woman was promoted to Client Services Head, the same person who was made Social Media Team Lead just a year ago. Despite lacking knowledge of social media and client handling, she leads both the social and design teams and tries to exert control over other departments like SEO, Performance, Content and Web. She carries herself like she’s running the entire company, giving orders and interfering across all departments.
This individual is known more for her flattery than for competence. She often shares confidential discussions from management meetings with others in the office and speaks poorly of her own team in front of senior leadership. Many clients were uncomfortable interacting with her and preferred dealing directly with Account Managers.
If you're considering joining nexa, especially in the Social Media team, please reconsider. This environment may not be conducive to career growth, particularly if you're not part of the favored inner circle of top management or social media lead.
The management generally fails to recognize dedicated employees and instead seems to value those who flatter or align personally with leadership. One of the key figures in the company, the CEO’s younger brother wields absolute power in a highly unprofessional manner. His behavior is unpredictable and often demeaning, he literally behaves like a psychopath, company runs on his mood like a pregnant woman he always has a mood swings, he keeps humiliating employees, creating a toxic work culture that demoralizes staff.
They recently hired a new Creative Director who, unfortunately, adds to the toxic atmosphere by constantly complaining about everyone behind closed doors.
If you're serious about your career and want to work in a healthy, professional environment, nexa may not be the right choice.
Salary & Benefits:
Salary: Below market standards, with little to no increment even after 2–3 years, and only after repeated requests.
Basic Salary: Lower than your housing and transportation allowance. They deliberately keep the basic salary at a minimum, so when you leave, you don’t receive a substantial end-of-service benefit.
Airfare: Not provided, unlike most reputable companies that offer annual or biennial airfare.
Bonuses/Incentives: Practically nonexistent. Even the sales commissions have been stopped, prompting most of the sales team to leave. Management now handles sales themselves.
In summary, this is a highly dysfunctional organization, with questionable leadership and a lack of appreciation for genuine talent and hard work.
