I agree that we have an amazing community of engineers and overall just great people across the organization! I can understand that there are product decisions made that not everyone will support, but that is true in all organizations, not all of us will agree with every decision. The fact is that we have an amazing, successful product and while we may misstep from time to time I think we have demonstrated over time that our product has improved and we continue to support a product vision that will best serve our users.

Avoid this negative work environment!

Pros

There are some nice people working there

Cons

The management is out of touch, rarely in the office, and making knee jerk decisions, based on flimsy or flat out wrong information, in an attempt to appear in control. There is no proper training in place for anything other than the product itself. New hires should be on guard from those who are training them and watch for attempts at sabotage and undermining your success. The office location is also a negative, public transit is very limited and there are very little in the way of food options close by. The pay is very low and the expectations are very high.

I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a positive experience while working with us. Unfortunately, you were only with us for a short time and perhaps missed an opportunity to experience more positive aspects of our leadership and work culture at IXL. For example, we just hosted a fantastic week of workshops for the development team. Engineers, PM's, Designers and QA team members formed new ways of working together, aligned on our product vision and organizational objectives, and had an opportunity to hear from our CEO, COO and other leaders. I do wish you all the best in your next career endeavor.
