Pros

Snacks are good, lots of soda.

Cons

If you are an engineer, I would recommend not working here. No matter how they try to paint it, XO is a career killer. Other companies are wising up to the fact that propriety technology and re-inventing the wheels does not make for good engineering. Salaries are waaaaay too low to be learning such a useless skill.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
