Great work with bad planning and upper management

Pros

The people who work at XE are all gifted and the work is extremely interesting. The company is working to make things better as well, they have flaws but recognize this and are actively working to improve. Benefits and pay are solid for industry standards.

Cons

The scheduling is a mess and causes a ton of turnover. Too many non-technical people overriding technical experts based on financials. Upper management seems to be more concerned with getting more and more contracts and investments than actually having a legitimate product.

Friendly and collaborative team environment. Start-up culture brings energy, creativity, and openness to new ideas. Local managers are approachable and supportive.

Cons

Many changes happening across the company can make it challenging to stay fully oriented as a new employee.
