Pros

Great team of people in every office. Everyone is approachable, but they are over worked and way underpaid. The truth is that MORALE IS LOW!

Cons

Don't be fooled by the recent influx of 5 star reviews, HR and top management are pushing new hires to write A+ reviews. The truth about the firm is that THE COMPANY WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THE APRIL 30, 2017 PAYROLL! The company announced it on pay day in "Hey, you might have noticed that there wasn't a deposit in your account this morning" kind of way. We had to wait until May 9th to get paid once the CEO secured a personal loan to cover it. And most recently the May 15th payroll was conveniently "mixed up" due to a "glitch" in the system and we were paid in several different payments. This is the first time that they couldn't make payroll in the US and Europe offices, but it's happened several times this year in the Asia offices. Think of the other implications, this financial crisis means no raises, no bonuses, and your computer is most likely refurbished and will keep crashing. Yes, there is a new sales team and they seem to really know their stuff (where most of the 5 star reviews on Glassdoor are coming from BTW). However, a lot of the support and implementation staff is leaving and the company has slowed hiring (1) because of the financial issues and (2) because the hiring managers are too busy trying to stay afloat that they don't have time to interview. The question to ask is, will there be enough people to support and implement once the sales start coming in? My advice to you would be to think very long and hard about accepting an offer from NextLabs because there is a chance you'll be out of a job very soon if the company goes under.

Pros

Not much - some free snacks

Cons

1) CEO has anger management issue. It was common to hear him yelling and berating employees in office or someone on the phone. 2) Company missed several payrolls in this year. CEO talked about raising huge money from VC for the past few years but nothing ever came through. 3) Many were laid off in the past couple months 4) Company offers low salary 5) Startup going nowhere for the past 12 years.

Pros

Interesting product. Huge upside for the product. Very few direct competitors

Cons

CEO - Con Man, CEO - Narcissist, CEO - Snake Oil Salesman Wont be surprised if CEO is in orange jump suit. Plays slipshod with all types of rules HR, Fin, confidential. I know of cases where he let go sales team members to avoid paying commission. Don't believe the 5 star ratings, most of them were by interns and temp workers under HR influence. Heard there were missed pay checks and benefits.
