Pros

The only pro is you work from home 100%.

Cons

NextRoll has become a cautionary tale of poor leadership and mismanagement. The current leadership, especially under the new CFO, has caused immense disruption. Additionally, the new CFO has brought in a wave of her personal network, displacing long-standing employees who understood the company and its operations. The layoffs seem arbitrary and short-sighted. Processes and strategies that worked well two years ago were halted, only to be reintroduced later as "new ideas" by the very management that dismantled them. The environment has become toxic, with people being tested by hiring them and laying them off within weeks, destabilizing their lives. A recent example includes a VP of Finance who was excelling but was terminated to make way for someone the CFO had previously worked with—clear evidence of favoritism. A concerning pattern has emerged where several known employees returning from maternity leave are laid off, raising serious ethical questions. This company offers no bonuses, minimal growth opportunities, and is riddled with risks. Corruption and poor decision-making plague the organization. If you're considering joining or investing in NextRoll, think twice. This is a company with ZERO regard for employees, and its trajectory is uncertain at best. I wish there was a negative rating option!

Pros

When I first started it had an amazing culture, great leadership who knew what they were doing and where they were going. I gained a lot of lifelong friends from working here. The salary ended up being very good as well, but that's where the pros end.

Cons

I would encourage anyone considering joining this company to do extensive due diligence before accepting an offer. The organization has experienced repeated layoffs year after year, including the elimination of roughly 40% of the workforce within the last six months. Despite years of stagnant revenue, leadership's primary response has been continued cost-cutting rather than investing in meaningful growth or innovation. The company currently has no Chief Revenue Officer, and it's difficult to ignore that several senior leaders appear to be openly exploring opportunities elsewhere. Many of these challenges appear to stem from leadership's unwillingness to listen to frontline employees and customer-facing teams who consistently raised concerns about changing market conditions. Instead of adapting, leadership remained committed to an outdated strategy, allowing competitors to move ahead. The company is now scrambling to catch up to a market it once had the opportunity to lead. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is the disconnect between leadership's messaging and its actions. Employees are routinely told they're doing an exceptional job, only to be met with yet another round of layoffs. At the same time, experienced, long-tenured employees who helped build the business are replaced with lower-cost hires, who often face the same fate in subsequent reductions. This cycle has significantly eroded trust, morale, and institutional knowledge. From my perspective, there has been little strategic difference between the current CEO and the previous one. The focus continues to be on reducing headcount rather than executing a clear vision for sustainable growth. Before accepting a position here, I would carefully evaluate the company's long-term direction, leadership stability, and employee retention.
