Pros
- Fast paced and dynamic team — very smart and fun people across the entire organization
- Recently built HQ office that has great perks (catered lunches twice/week)
- Lots of employees have been at Nextiva for 10+ years (or have returned after leaving the company) which proves the strength of the company’s culture
- Strong company trajectory over the next 5-10 years
Cons
- At times, it can feel chaotic like an early-stage startup (a pro & a con) — onboarding and training is very limited
- Legacy GTM tech stack without foreseeable plans to make upgrades/switches

This made us smile. We're lucky to have you on the team! It's awesome to hear you're surrounded by great people, supportive leaders, and plenty of opportunities to learn. Keep building amazing, Nextie!
Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
