Pros

Work/Life balance was always good for me, and they have solid benefits with a good 401k plan and health insurance options.

Cons

This use to be a great company from 2016-2019. Since then, Nextiva has really nosed dived as a company. A lot has happened in this time, but ultimately Nextiva grew way too fast, tried to move up market too fast, and in turn lost its identity. Everything from the product, to customer service, to employee morale all suffered and continues to suffer. It's also become such a bureaucratic mess. This is a reactive company that likes to point fingers. Whether its department to department, or boss/manager to team. Nextiva has this down pat. There is no working together to solve a common problem or deficiency. This is a product that is unable to go up market. It's so buggy and unusable. You can poke holes through all of their product offerings. Competition in this already saturated market space is running right past Nextiva. If I was a business owner, I would never use this product. Feedback goes in one ear and out the other. I can think of multiple occasions where product and deficiencies lie and what needs to get fixed/upgraded. We'd then have the same meeting 4-5 months down the road and talk about the same deficiencies. You could count on these repetitive meetings 2-3 times a year. Poor leadership generally from the Director level up all the way to the C levels. I worked for some very good direct managers, but the initiatives from the top are so poorly passed down to team leaders. These are some of the worst communicators you can imagine. There is a new VP every fiscal year and usually new directors in each segment from Mid Market down to Very Small Business.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

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.
