Pros

Graduated ASU in 2009 and I went to State Farm. I liked my time in insurance and I learned a lot from the experience but I made the move to Nextiva for the promise of growing and being a part of a fast paced tech company. The long term stability with insurance sales is enticing but I'm happy that I chose Nextiva. The company was highly rated and my dad's a customer so that helped. I started in customer service and I now work with supporting new customers that signup for the service. The people I work with are cool and I really like the vibe in the office. So many people work at Nextiva but it still feels like a small tech company, kinda like a startup. Rules are not overwhelming. I like working with a lot of the customers I interact with. The food perks are a special bonus. The technology that Nextiva develops is ahead of its time as I don't see many other companies that Nextiva competes with selling the same solution. All in all the marketing and the website do a good job of showing what Nextiva is about but I especially like how we are supporting different organizations in the valley, like the childrens hospital. The service is stable but the porting and carriers get frustrating to deal with and I can talk about that in my cons.

Cons

I had to find my own way at Nextiva. There aren't clear options for where to go when you want to move throughout the company especially outside the technical positions. I think the customer service department has some really gifted people and the company can do a much better job in getting the most of out of everyone. I hate to see people leave Nextiva because they are not being challenged enough and I think this is the case with people I know. Maximizing performance needs to improve. I really think the office is in a good part of the city and I like how it's near the 101 but it would be cool if we had a sign in the front of the building that said we are Nextiva. There are lots of cool businesses I've had the opportunity to talk to since they are customers of Nextiva but I don't like how the carriers we use are careless. I get annoyed having to call carriers and wait on hold for so long. It's bad for our customers and they know it's not Nextiva's fault by most phone companies that sell services don't do a good job with customer service.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

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.
