Pros

Work life balance, friendly and collaborative colleagues

Cons

It is a good place for some, worse for most others. It all depends on your projects, clients and managers. I say that because generally the colleagues are wonderful. Met with some of the nicest people while working here. But. And its big BUT. Some managers and directors can be a real pain in the neck. Nexient does have some people in the management who were hired not because of their competence, but because of their association to a particular country. These people for some reason can never speak the truth. I do not know why the CEO Mark (who I regard as a nice person) never took any actions to get rid of them because lots of employees I knew felt the same way. Working in Nexient can turn to your worst nightmare if the manager is as bad as most reviewers have talked about. And Nexient has quite a few of them. I knew one who would go almost crazy if he found anyone on the team missing from the desk even for 5 minutes. He would start asking others "Where is A? Have you seen B? When did C leave the desk?". Have had a manager who would choose to remain silent in the face of angry outbursts from the client and then would express his frustration only when the meetings were over. I was lucky to have few excellent team leaders who would choose to lead by example of pure talent, first class communication skill, fine character, grace and dignity; not by reprimands, mockery and fear. Nexient does fire people apparently for no reason and with no prior notice. I guess its because employees are paid so less that the top most management knows most are not going to stay longer anyways and they can always hire recent graduates with that awfully low pay. Sitting on the bench and jumping from one project to another in a short span of time can be real frustrating.

Thank you for providing feedback. Nexient's senior leadership and I are genuinely interested in understand the challenges you mention related to managers. When we have specific information about challenges, we address them. If you have specific information, I would encourage you to share it with me directly (either via email or send me a note to set up time to talk). Two points you mention that I disagree with: - We have never hired anyone because of their association to a particular country (we have a 100% US-based workforce and we serve clients in the US, so I'm not sure what this would mean in our context?). - We strive to give employees regular feedback informally and formally about their performance and how to continually grow their knowledge and skills. If you know of a specific case where we fell short of that, please reach out to me and share the details.

Pros

Had good exciting opportunities to explore technically

Cons

Some of the management folks were short sighted and forced technical teams on temporary solutions rather than long term solutions to satisfy the clients
