Pros

The colleagues are great. Friendly and supportive, always there to help. Good vacation policy, additional wellness days, benefit platform and meal tickets.

Cons

Extremely high work volume, because of lack of personnel. People cannot keep up with the high volume of work and they leave. Even so, times are cut to the maximum, which leads people to stay overtime (not paid). Majority of people don't take their lunch break to meet their deadlines. It's not always like this, there are times with less busy days, but people are very tired and the morale is down due to low paychecks. You're also not congratulated for doing a good job, but management carefully analyzes your mistakes and makes sure to punish you for them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for your continued contribution to the company over more than three years. We appreciate your recognition of the supportive team culture and the benefits we offer. We acknowledge that there are periods when workload can increase and teams may feel under pressure, particularly during peak delivery times. While this is not a constant state, we understand that sustained high workload can impact morale and energy levels. Ensuring appropriate staffing, realistic planning, and sustainable delivery remains an ongoing focus. Working hours and overtime are managed in line with company policy and with applicable legal provisions. Feedback and performance discussions are intended to be constructive and balanced. We do recognize and acknowledge good performance, and appreciation is an important part of how we work with our teams. At the same time, addressing mistakes and areas for improvement is part of professional growth, and we continue to support managers in delivering feedback consistently and fairly.

Pros

- The people who you work with are genuinely kind, intelligent, and resourceful. - Sometimes the work is interesting. - Unlimited Discretionary Time Off (i.e. your manager has to approve it).

Cons

- Career development is nonexistent unless you came in as a VP. - RTO mandate. - The pay is not competitive, and will remain below par regardless of your performance. Expect annual raises below the rate of inflation. - The difference between what higher-ups assume our products and data sources can do often does not line up with reality. - The company donated the salaries of ~4 people to Trump's birthday party and then laid off a significant portion of the workforce. - Constant emails from HR welcoming new VP-level hires while everyone else who actually works has to fill in the gaps caused by the layoffs and sees nothing in return. - You will be pestered to vote for the CEO in every meaningless popularity contest that comes up, consigning you to a lifetime of spam email.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. With over three years at Exiger, your feedback matters. We’re glad you’ve had a positive experience with your colleagues, building strong, capable teams is something we value. That said, many of the claims in your review, particularly around compensation decisions, layoffs, and external activities, are either inaccurate or lack important context. We take transparency seriously and do not make decisions that compromise our values or our people. We recognize that periods of change can create frustration, especially around workload, communication, and career progression. These are areas we are actively working to improve, including clearer development paths, more consistent communication, and continued evaluation of compensation practices. We welcome candid feedback, but it’s important that it remains constructive and grounded in fact. We encourage employees to raise concerns directly so they can be addressed in a meaningful and productive way.
