Nexant Employee Reviews about "flexible work"

Pros

Variety across projects, flexible working conditions including WFH and comp days for travel time

Cons

High turnover leads to under-experienced people being placed in management roles, no training or transfer of knowledge, you will be hired for your knowledge in one area and they'll never help you grow into another area

Pros

Good attitude toward flexible work hours and family balance

Cons

Opaque management - never had a clue what the company was up to Misguided market emphasis on struggling software division; No career advancement or promotion opportunities All profit siphoned off by investors while pay remained low and stagnant

Pros

Best-in-class for telecommuting and flexible work scheduling The HR team is the glue that holds this company together -though they lost most of them from bad former executive management New CEO is the first to communicate to the entire company -himself, so it's becoming more transparent Benefits were rocky but overall good

Cons

There's only one woman executive -totally unacceptable -diversity in general is lacking Pay is low compared to the market BUs don't entirely communicate well with each other What is the Nexant brand?

Pros

Flexible work hours Able to work remotely Benefits were ok but it is outsourced now Great co-workers (until "cost cutting" started) A good learning challenge to clean up mess left behind

Cons

A company once with great potential went down the drain and now left with newcomers trying to salvage and save the company. It's amazing how one person turned this company upside down and change the culture for Nexant forever. Being harassed, verbally abused and listening to pathetic analogies by the lead guy was not something to look forward too. In a normal company everyone should work together as a team, but in this case you were either on “his” team or you were not. If you chose not to be on “his” team then you were either let go, cut a deal with “him” to voluntarily resign, or eventually got fed up and left on your own regardless of whether you found new employment or not. It was tough working in a toxic work environment with long stressful hours while performing responsibilities which normally would take 2-3 employees. Teams would not be sufficiently re-staffed after departures of former employees and this was due to poor management. Management was horrible as no one was held accountable for their actions since day 1 which caused “cost cutting”. Their new ERP system implementation was a disaster but the storm has passed and there's a huge mess that needs to be cleaned up. It's an unfortunate situation what happened over the past 18 months with almost 99% turnover in the F&A Department.

Pros

Company is good in terms of benefits like medical, dental , PTOs and flexible working hours

Cons

- Management does not care about junior staff. Program managers only care about finishing projects by hook or crook while employees burn. -No proper training giving to Junior staff

Pros

Flexible work schedule, work at home opportunity, good salary, tiny bonus.

Cons

This company is CEO against the world and the world is you! No perks of any kind, no kind words, no appreciation of your work from CEO or any higher ups. Very toxic culture, no company values except make more money for the CEO and Board. You are a worker bee, nothing more, nothing less.

Pros

Generally good reputation in the industry Generally (but not always) collegial workplace Hard to get fired Flexible work hours/location

Cons

No leadership or vision CEO hides out and focuses energy on keeping position; never meets customers; unable/unwilling to promote company publicly; considers annual memo as effective engagement with managers and staff Weak & ineffective board that hasn't made a single strategy decision in years Bonuses get routinely delayed in order to window dress the financial reporting

Pros

Many bright employees to work with Flexible work schedule, if you can get your work done. Competitive benefits. More allotted time off than many companies.

Cons

Poor management, both mid-level and executive. Executive management provides an unclear company vision and poor direction to mid-level management. Mid-level managers often have no management experience outside of Nexant or management training. Board seems very adverse to change, 2 years ago Nexant hired a new CEO who offered a clear and promising vision for the company however he left due to the boards unwillingness to change. Engineers are overworked and burned out yet management and HR cannot seem to address staffing needs. Very little focus on career development, employee growth or training. Not providing real innovation, just talking about it Performance reviews are based almost entirely on bill-ability and raises and bonuses are low. Very poor software development team. This is very disconcerting since as the company direction is currently heavily focused on software. Poor HR and IT department. They are understaffed and undervalued by management. These issues have always existed since I've been with the company, however they are getting worse and no progress is being made. The best and brightest employees recognize this and are leaving for better career opportunities.
