Pros

If you have no experience in IT and want to learn, this can be a great start. I had no relevant work experience prior to working here, but I was given the opportunity and did learn quite a bit. Free lunch, open PTO policy, good insurance, company matched 401K, extremely casual atmosphere. Quarterly bonuses based on billable hours. If you genuinely thrive in an environment where you don't need/want management to dictate your workload and keep you busy, you'll probably love it here.

Cons

Constant changes. I was also disappointed to learn that the COO was requesting current employees to go post "good" reviews on this site to better the company's image while I was still there. You have to be intelligent enough to translate your work experience here to be able to apply it to any other company. What I mean by this is that there is barely any industry standard jargon used here, they tend to use proprietary language to describe things that every other company would use an industry standard acronym/word for. Perhaps the most annoying part is the focus on billable hours. If you don't produce a level of billable hours that is high enough (and I'm not just talking about borderline profitability) then you will be let go. There are some tenured employees there that are extremely pompous: expect to be cussed at, talked down to, and then have it explained away as 'joking'. It is also extremely unbalanced. The commissions team is what carries the company into profitability every quarter, so if you are on that team, expect an unfair amount of pressure on you to keep the whole company afloat while they hire more people in every other department so they can pat themselves on the back for their "company growth". If you're like me and you don't feel that you should go out of your way to keep yourself busy (because I'm not paid like a manager, why should I be essentially doing my manager's job and assigning myself work?) then you will not like it here.

Pros

I have been at Exigo for over 2 years now and love it. This is my 2nd review but things keep getting better so I had to add an updated review. First off, I manage two teams, a web and mobile development teams. They are driven to go above and beyond my expectations. Most are new junior developers but they all have a passion for technology and expanding their skillsets. It's a pleasure working alongside them. I hope they learn from me as much as I learn from them. Exigo recently appointed a new COO and he's been actively adding many things that have added to the already great culture, FREE Red Bulls handed out daily in the afternoon, Hump Day happy hours, breakfast has been added to the already free lunches and most recently an Exigo sponsored Ark game server (spent last night playing until 1:30 am with the COO). We are having a new kitchen built so we can have an on-site chef and I heard rumors about an upgrade to our gym but I'm not sure what that is going to be.

Cons

Frankly, there are not many cons. The only thing I can think of are your typical growing pains in a successful company. Cons might be that Exigo is too small to be on the Fortune Magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For".
