Pros

Others are as clueless as you, hence some form of common ground?

Cons

Very ill-managed - they talk about transparency and then go behind your back like it was expected. Your time is not at all valued. What should take 2 days, takes up 2 months easily because the management won't be bothered enough, till some one above them asks for delivery. The people at the bottom of the chain are then blamed for delays. They say they care about their employees whereas the difference between upper management and rest of the staff is like colonialists and slaves. A stark difference in other words. The HR, the upper management and the general office environment is absolutely toxic! The pennies they pay you at the end of the day are just not worth the disgrace. The work is so redundant that once you leave this place, you will realize you didn't learn anything worthwhile. They keep saying that its a expanding company, but by the looks of it, they lose a client everyday?

We are sorry to hear you have had such a difficult experience in our Silver Spring Office. You have touched on a number of issues that are of great concern to us. As we have grown so rapidly, we have worked hard to build our teams in a thoughtful way. However, we don’t always get it right and we acknowledge this with honesty. As we continue to grow as a business we are working hard to take the feedback of our people into account. Whether in the way we assign work, the opportunities for leadership and management training, or career development, we are very focused on building a better experience for our people.

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.
