At my old workplace there wasn't a lot of opportunity for movement upwards, or even just for career development and learning. Nextiva was a breath of fresh air in this regard, there were plenty of professional development events and opportunities, and we were encouraged to make the most of what they were offering. I learnt a lot during my time there. I would have loved to stay longer, but when I was ready to progress there weren't any opportunities. Regardless, I look very fondly on my time at Nextiva.
Cons
I didn't leave because I was unhappy, so it would be great if there was some way for us Nextiva alumni to stay in touch. I met a lot of great people at that company, and it's a shame that there's no easy way for us all to stay in contact.

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
