Pros

- Casual Environment - Awesome Colleagues (To a degree, some may be looking out for themselves) - Pretty Descent Social Functions

Cons

The vibe of Xola is what any startup tech company imitating those in silicon valley. The workload for the position really consistent of those who have worked in retail tech jobs (geek squad frys, apple, etc.) - They do provide a casual environment and provide weekly lunches. Depending on your role, that may be the only bright side of this organization. - Certain departments are riddle with office politics and constant shift of what you are actually needed to do. - The managers there are brash and can lack any sense of respect. If it is obvious that you are being micromanaged then it is too late. - They only work on a collaborative mindset, and if you do not fall in lie then you have no place here. be careful for those applying. - FYI some of these reviews were asked as part of our initial training to show how well the ORG is so take that with a grain of salt when considering since it may not reflect how some people feel after 6 months in, 1 year in, etc.
