Being outside of the Inner Circle

Pros

Decent pay and benefits Facility is nice and near the freeway The company itself does sometimes err on the side of the employee

Cons

If you intend to stay with Xactware, make sure you are part of your team's Inner Circle. If you are not, you will not succeed. I was on Core Services and I was doomed to fail from the start because I wasn't 'cool' enough for my manager. I had different interests.

Good to Great

Pros

Great practices in QA. Good experience for better than sweat shop software development. Probably not a place for long term employment as there is a lot of college recruitment done meaning you are working with people aren't quite always following good standards as they're still learning them. I think though overall though this company does a good job. The activities are good and HR is really good.

Cons

Sometimes there's really unrealistic expectations due to the company being very top heavy. There's a lot of sales work done and deals are made w/out consulting dev teams about anything. The pay is at average or below average.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
