Pros

If you only want to do a job and not worry about career this is the place to be. People who have been here for a long time either hold a lot of shares or are too settled with no empathy towards the company itself

Cons

Quite a few. The owners run a tightly controlled ship. There is no autonomy for anything. If you are a junior employee you don't care but if you have prior or little industry experience this is not the place for you. Favoritism politics, infighting is rampant As a business, growth is flat so no real incentive there.

Pros

The market is growing and with Exterro's technology there is great potential. The company is very solid and has smart business growth. There are really talented people that work here. Work-life balance is good, summer hours and flexible working schedule. You are responsible for your own work so you can manage your own time. The office space is updated and very nice. Good benefits.

Cons

There are department and inter-department silos and the team work between groups could be better. Processes, forecasting, and planning needs some improvement.

Pros

The eDiscovery industry is exploding with opportunity and Exterro has the right products to remedy the imminent pain in the market place. The engineers at Exterro tend to be bright, creative, and agile. The clients are high-caliber, respectable industry leaders.

Cons

The executive management team lacks humility, experience, and transparency. There is a strong culture of intimidation and deceit. Employees are often expected to work extreme hours, upwards of 14 hours per day, without proper compensation. Rather than motivating employees, management tends to threaten jobs and insult workers, often in public settings as to make an example in front of the larger group. There is no opportunity for growth at Exterro, as turnover rates are high and employees are assessed on loyalty (submission) to leadership rather than performance and merit. Women are treated as inferior to men, as is evident by the continuous departure of female employees over the past few years. Compensation fares below industry averages across most departments.
