Pros
Mostly great coworkers Good experience for recent graduates
Cons
Used to be a fun work environment, until a private equity firm purchased the company and set the rules. They have turned Xenon into a profit factory and are squeezing the life out of its employees to increase earnings while withholding raises and bonuses due to the current market. Changes are since Jan 2022, and restructured everything, read the documents you sign closely. Not competitive salaries Bonuses based mostly on activity rather than sales creation Upper management is "big brother" Requires in office 3 days a week in downtown Bellevue without paid parking. Parking in the building is $27/day, they provided $180/month (pre-tax) for travel expenses. The office consists of "hoteling" desks and sitting in islands of three. No privacy and extremely noisy/uncomfortable and surrounded by new construction. Never thought I would wish I had a cubicle... I was also never reimbursed for my home setup even after several requests. HR and culture committee events that felt cheesy and forced (maybe a pro to some) Everyone was given shares of the company after 3 months, until 2022, now it's only given to upper management. Middle management has little influence to run their team after PEF and is forced to relay the agenda of upper management with little exception. Creates the problem of bureaucracy. Upward mobility is possible with this company, but there's only one defined path up if you are in sales and you will have to kiss the ring of upper management (metaphorically speaking)
