Pros

Being employed. Getting a paycheck.

Cons

I left on my own volition so don't assume this is all sour grapes, just an honest assessment of working at CXT before and after the corporate takeover. The company was a great place to work before it was purchased. After the purchase it was like some kind of Brewster's Millions movie where a new owners had to tank a company in a matter of months before they could get a reward. Their first order of business was to demote, fire, lay off or push out any female managers in the company. In a software company this was clearly glaringly obvious as there were only about 5 of them. I'm assuming this was to pave way for their new army of employees from foreign countries not known for their uhh, "enlightened view" of the equality of the genders. Within a month it was clear that their grand vision for turning CXT to a cash cow was to replace American workers with foreign workers they would pay a fraction of the cost, and to turn our customers upside down and try to shake out any extra penny they could with increased fees and rates. I dont know if theyre even still hiring people in the USA anymore, but for any of you willing to sit through their 7 interview interview process, you have been warned. It is a mismanaged mess with people that seemingly continue to fail up running the show.

Pros

I was at CXT Software when the acquisition happened, and honestly? The first few months were rough. A lot of uncertainty, new processes to learn, different culture to get used to — it's a lot to take in all at once. But if you can push through that adjustment period, there's actually a lot to like about being part of a bigger organization like Ionic. Things are more structured now, the tools are better, and there's more room to grow than there ever was before.

Cons

The transition period was stressful — communication could've been clearer. Processes changed a lot at once, which was overwhelming at first.

Pros

CXT Software is very inclusive and hires people from all around the world. This has been amazing for me because I don’t need to move to another country to get a good job. I can work from my location and still be part of a global team. Working with people from different countries and backgrounds makes the team more creative and interesting. I feel like my ideas are heard and that I’m part of something bigger, even though I’m not in the same place as my teammates. The company values good communication and teamwork, even with people working in different time zones. This has made it easier for me to manage my work-life balance. It’s great to be in a company that gives everyone a chance, no matter where they’re from.

Cons

The work can be hard and there are high expectations, especially since we work on projects with teams around the world. Sometimes the deadlines are tight, and it’s a bit stressful. But I feel proud when I finish something difficult, and I know it’s worth it in the end. The hiring process was very detailed and challenging. It took a lot of time and effort, and sometimes I felt a little nervous about it. But the good part is that they kept me updated on my progress, which helped me stay positive. Even though it was tough, I’m really happy to have gotten the job in the end.
