XOS Digital Reviews

Management floundered for a long time. Every quarter for 2 years, they would lay off a number of people and tell the rest of us "this is the last time we are doing this". The business structure was insane. They gave away work in the form of building websites for College Conferences in the hope that the owners would love it and sign a contract to get all of the schools to then use it, then.... profit? We had a contract with the NFL to use an app for the iPad, then the NFL switched to using a Windows device. We spent several months building a new app for the Windows tablet, then were all laid off because they had no further plans for development. They took our app and gave it to a company in India (China?) to update some things, which they messed up. They had to then hire one of us back to fix everything. They wanted to develop a competing site to Hudl and start taking over their markets. The person in charge then left to work for some movie production house (Lionsgate?). So that ended up cancelled, even though we were close to a working product, that we designed and developed without anyone from management guiding us on what they wanted. Then, we were all laid off. We were given the opportunity to move up to Boston, but the compensation offered was severely under what was appropriate for that area.

On-call hours, cranky irrational clients who think they literally own you. XOS acquired a lease in downtown Orlando for a large amount of office space and spent money renovating. A few weeks before the move-in they could barely pay their bills and payroll, then laid-off 30+ employees. Management has their hands full in finding new sources of technology and revenue to grow the business from previous years but is severely lost in the dark.
