Pros

Work/Life balance was always good for me, and they have solid benefits with a good 401k plan and health insurance options.

Cons

This use to be a great company from 2016-2019. Since then, Nextiva has really nosed dived as a company. A lot has happened in this time, but ultimately Nextiva grew way too fast, tried to move up market too fast, and in turn lost its identity. Everything from the product, to customer service, to employee morale all suffered and continues to suffer. It's also become such a bureaucratic mess. This is a reactive company that likes to point fingers. Whether its department to department, or boss/manager to team. Nextiva has this down pat. There is no working together to solve a common problem or deficiency. This is a product that is unable to go up market. It's so buggy and unusable. You can poke holes through all of their product offerings. Competition in this already saturated market space is running right past Nextiva. If I was a business owner, I would never use this product. Feedback goes in one ear and out the other. I can think of multiple occasions where product and deficiencies lie and what needs to get fixed/upgraded. We'd then have the same meeting 4-5 months down the road and talk about the same deficiencies. You could count on these repetitive meetings 2-3 times a year. Poor leadership generally from the Director level up all the way to the C levels. I worked for some very good direct managers, but the initiatives from the top are so poorly passed down to team leaders. These are some of the worst communicators you can imagine. There is a new VP every fiscal year and usually new directors in each segment from Mid Market down to Very Small Business.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, benefits are good, pay is average

Cons

Terrible management - elevating people to their level of incompetance, poor planning, implementation of new functionality not executed well. As the company grew in size it is easy to see their weaknesses. The CEO kept changing his mind about what he thought Nextiva should be - mainly because his prior assessments never materialized into significant successes. The company wants to be a one stop shop for all small business communication needs, but the expertise for that doesn't exist. The CEO should have focused on its core competency of VoIP phone communications. They had years to remove the bugs and refine the product, but failed and decided to move on to different products and services. Huge turnover in upper management over the years, bringing in new management with all their friends, farming out development and customer service to third world countries has led to a dysfunctional culture with no end goal in sight.

Pros

It appears that there are lots of opportunities to move into different roles and experience different parts of the business. I've been here just over 12 months and have just moved into a new role.

Cons

I'm quite extroverted, and I feel like I was able to let people around me know the pathway I wanted and it happened for me, but I think if I'd been quieter it wouldn't have been as easy. I think if you're more of an introvert it might be easy to be overlooked.
