Pros

*Pay you to learn new technologies. -I graduated from college as a game developer coding mainly in C# and had very little web development experience before I started at Nexient. After 6 weeks of training in there boot camp, my javascript skills were solidified, I gained a better understanding of the Angular2 framework, and learned how to use React library. *Very open and friendly atmosphere. -Open floor plan encourages conversation between co-workers and gives the place a warm welcoming feeling. *Senior developers help guide younger developers to write better code. -Experienced developers are always willing to help out those who seek the knowledge. *Game room is great place to relieve some stress if need be. -Sometimes starring at a screen for hours on end can become stressful so taking a break to go play a game is a nice luxury to have. *HR listens to employees to make sure they are happy and needs are fulfilled within reason. -Management always takes employees opinions into consideration.

Cons

*Numerous times you get told your getting put on a certain project so you start learning up on the associated technologies with it but then the project either falls through or you get put on a totally different project. -Not much of a con, but still annoying being told to do one thing and then a few days later you are pushed down a completely different path.

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

Pros

Company hires lots of young/new developers which makes it a nice place to get some experience and learn different tools on different projects. It also makes it a fun ground to be around in the office. Some managers are really great people and will help you grow if you're a new developer, others are hard to communicate with or simply kept so busy it feels like they don't have time for you. 'Fun' events to get to know coworkers are a nice touch Laid back atmosphere, flexible hours(usually), lots of random free food from clients visiting, etc.

Cons

Salary is below average for the area(at least for entry level positions). Devs are put on to projects where they may or may not have experience or knowledge with the languages or frameworks needed and have little if any input on what they work on. No bonuses, no 401k matching, no monetary incentive to stay past a few years to gain experience to move on to a company that does have something(and that pays at least average as well). Communication between management seems to have a disconnect at times, it can be really hit or miss depending on the who is in charge of you.
