Pros

Good benefits and perks and decent compensation depending on your role and negotiating skills. If one is comfortable shaping their own role, they can have an amazingly wide exposure to different industries and business models early in their career and grow their skill sets remarkably fast. The competence of upper management instills confidence in the direction of the company and there is far less BS thrown around in the boardroom than most fast growing companies. While almost everything varies from team to team, there are no overriding company policies that curtail work/life balance and, if you have a good relationship with your manager, it can be a great workplace with lots of flexibility.

Cons

Experiences can vary widely depending on the team. Some of the really negative reviews might be quite accurate for some roles on some teams. While personally very satisfied, it is very apparent that other employees can end up in somewhat menial and secretarial roles and, if they do not voice their concerns, will stay there indefinitely. This is not a company for those who expect to advance merely by doing a good job and a degree of innovation and bootstrapping is needed to move around in the company. Growth is rapid year over year but because of the business model it comes in fits and starts. Sometimes your career can feel a little stalled out when the next step is not as well laid out for you as in a Microsoft or Boeing type corporation.

Pros

I have been with Xenon Arc for several years, and have had the opportunity to both advance my career and acquire a broad knowledge of the principles associated to running a business. While I sometimes have to step up and work extra hours in the interest of completing a specific goal or objective, in general there is an upside in flexible work from home policies and a generous leave policy. Overall compensation is competitive, and career progression moves faster or slower depending on how quickly the business grows.

Cons

The business has had it's ups and downs and that correlates the pressure on employees. The company can do more to help manage the ups and downs and pressures by offering more avenues for feedback about what is happening within the business and positive feedback on performance.
