Pros

Some very good people. Good client/project work in my experience (may vary widely by client/project).

Cons

While working for Xpanxion, I was subject to ongoing workplace sexual harassment. For a time, I routinely had my boss on my project making jokes about sex acts involving my manager and me. When I reported this to my office manager, my office manager cut me off rather than hear out my complaints, and later attempted to cover for the offending party by recommending that they lie and describe the situation to HR as a one-time thing rather than a pattern. The office manager seemed intent on maintaining the workplace environment that was full of all sorts of inappropriate and unprofessional conversations about things like sex and serial murder. Reporting these things to HR did very little. HR has not seemed at all interested in correcting problems in the workplace, but really just exists to protect the company from legal action. Aside from the issues with harassment and the unprofessional work environment, Xpanxion has a lot of shortcomings in other ways. I would urge caution regarding anything listed in a job posting, like the claims about their training programs, competitive salaries, and room for growth. My experience with those things has not fit with what they claim. Sadly, working with Xpanxion also becomes an exercise in double and triple checking everything, and sometimes still having to correct issues after doing that. You can't really trust anything that is told or promised to you by Xpanxion. It's not uncommon to be told one thing only to have it change later, or to have mistakes made like tax withheld for the wrong state. I guess stuff usually gets figured out in the end, but these sorts of mistakes are very common and cause quite a bit of hassle.

Pros

Fantastic and relaxed culture. We're all a bunch of nerds and we have a very relaxed dress code. It is great working for a company where I can dress in a way that I am comfortable and that expresses who I am as a person. For the most part, the community and culture are very supportive and there's a lot of opportunities to make friends of your coworkers. We get a lot of PTO and it's very flexible in general. This PTO can be used for either vacation or sick days, which I love because it helps meet the needs of different kinds of people. This company is very willing to work with your individual needs and direct management at least makes it clear that they respect you as a professional and an individual. We are getting 401k matching soon, which was one of the last things I was really missing from this company.

Cons

It's true that Xpanxion compensation is not as high as some other companies in the software dev and testing business, even in Nebraska. For some people the extra relaxed environment and lots of PTO is worth a smaller salary, but if a high salary is your greater concern, Xpanxion might not meet that need as well as some other places. There have been some concerns lately that Xpanxion's culture could be changing under influence from the parent company UST. However, there is a lot of evidence that Xpanxion is pushing back against this and trying to solidify the Xpanxion culture and standards. They have also been willing to admit when they made mistakes and try to correct it. There has been some communication trouble lately, but this is one thing that upper management has admitted to being a problem and there are steps being made to rectify this. I hope to see those steps come through and am already seeing better communication lately.

Pros

Two months ago I would have said a lot of great things about this company. You felt like people actually cared about each other and were connecting on a personal and professional level. The majority of your co-workers are incredibly talented, skilled professionals with a can-do attitude that want to bring change to this company and help the company grow. Most of the organization is extremely customer focused and a pleasure to work with. I love the training offered. Tools and software applications could improve for a company of this size. Kudos awards/recognition are nice. Work life balance was good until recently. Culture was great until recently. Step It Up is a great program.

Cons

Great people are leaving due to a few bad apples that the company won't shake from the tree. There are several leaders that behave unprofessionally to the point one person is driving all of the account management away. People try to do great things for this company and are roadblocked or set up for failure. Pay/Benefits are not competitive. This is another reason why people are leaving. More people leaving means more work on the people that stay without additional compensation. 40+ hours expected. It seems like there is a new re-organization every month. If you push back, you are asked if you really like working there. You know what that means. Leadership gaslighting is toxic leadership. Constant shifting goals. No Diversity & Inclusion groups. People would love to do more corporate training group activities that would benefit their roles. People ask for them and then they are taken away or not implemented.
