Pros

Chill environment Varied projects Good people Lots of knowledge around to learn from More high profile projects coming in at a fantastic rate

Cons

Low compensation No match to 401k Boot camps just put new hires on a internal project with little to no guidance It's an consulting job and that means being regularly thrown on projects that are troubled

Thanks for sharing this feedback. You’ve highlighted some of our strengths: great environment, great people, learning opportunities and clients. You may be somewhat early in your career as a developer (I’m guessing this because you mentioned boot camps), and wishing your starting salary were higher. I believe you will find what other posters have mentioned: your salary will advance rapidly as your skills do. In fact, one of the ways to build those skills is to take on those challenging projects you mentioned. However at Nexient you should never feel you’re on your own with a challenge, whether on an internal project or client work. If you’ve spoken to your project leadership about not getting enough guidance and aren’t satisfied with the answers, please contact me or Colin directly.

Pros

Nexient is a very supportive and welcoming environment. Everyone will offer advice and support you in anyway. Where else can you get paid to learn when you're not on a project? Those who did not learn on their down time, didn't not last. Work hard and always prepare yourself for your next opportunity. What ever your background is, they will give you a chance to prove yourself. Some people claim they don't pay enough. Think about your comment, you were not forced to sign the contract. You read it, understood it and signed you accept. So you can't complain. Secondly, if you do not have experience, portfolio or strong network skills, you won't be offered much. You need something solid to prove your worth. Secondly, those who work hard will often get their contract extended with client, and after review Nexient, will give you pay increase. If for any reason you feel you are worth more, tell them why and prove to them your worth. They will do it if you can demonstrate it.

Cons

The cons are not with Nexient but with the Client. You can't predict how the contract will like or how the client treat you. It can be great, horrible, or so-so. This is an agency so you as a developer has to be adaptable and be willing to adjust. There's no hand holding or "ideal" project. You just need to learn quickly and work hard.

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback and apologies that I've been slow in getting a response to you. I'm glad to see you highlight that we are creating an environment that let's you learn and rewards people who are motivated to keep pushing themselves to get better as designers, developers, or product managers. Our goal is to create an environment where you can continue to grow, both through the client work and the other opportunities to learn internally. I appreciate your feedback on focusing on the Fortune 500, but we do work with smaller companies as well. About 2/3 of our clients are enterprise/F500 and the other 1/3 are fast growing technology companies (where we are usually helping them build their software product). Our technology clients range from extremely early stage seed companies, through to publicly traded tech companies, but many of them are venture-backed and still early in their life cycles. We'll keep pushing for more of both: our F500 clients typically have us working on customer-facing apps which push us on usability and our tech company clients also push us on the latest technology and architecture. Thanks, Mark

Pros

lots of smart friendly software developers

Cons

Many of the managers, directors and the clients have little or no respect for software developers. Disrespect and bullying towards some of the developers was sad to witness.

I am happy you found lots of smart friendly software developers during your short time at Nexient. However, I am shocked to hear you felt that some managers and clients didn’t respect our developers. As another poster wrote, I believe Nexient actually has a very strong developer-centric culture. If you saw or experienced disrespect or bullying, I would definitely like to hear more about this and correct it. Please get in touch with me personally. Thanks, Mark
