Pros
Nextiva is a very fast moving / competitive leader in the industry expanding far beyond voip technologies. Priorities, direction of work and time-lines can and do change as the market demands for it. This is directly reflected on the development team. Some would view this as a Con but to me this is definitely what makes working here challenging and fulfilling. You're not sitting at your desk doing the same 'black box' work every day. Everything you do is directly reflected in other departments - sales, support, etc - you see it in action every day. You hear the kudos and the criticism - and both is great for growth and knowing you're doing well at your job. There is a ton of opportunity for growth and this is directly, just like any other company, related to your drive and to how much work / responsibility you're willing to take on. Hard work and dedication does pay off. Challenges - a definite pro IMO. There's never a shortage of learning new things and expanding your knowledge. I've learned a lot since I started working here and definitely built up my skill-set more than I would ever expect. People - great! Nextiva's development team has grown significantly and everyone gets along pretty well. Great interaction with other departments as well. People are friendly and everyone is always willing to help before you even ask for it. Compensation - work hard + produce results = how you get to where you want to be. Nextiva is competitive in this respect. Perks? Yes there are perks to working for Nextiva and it's all about great people to me. There are company organized lunches, breakfast, bagels, ice cream etc - but those things IMO shouldn't be considered an expectation. It's simply a way for Nextiva to give an extra thanks for hard work. Overall? Would I do this again? Most definitely! All things considered, this is the job I've been looking for and definitely see myself being here for a long time. Finding a good work/life balance is important for any job. Set yourself up for success and work efficiently and you will achieve that.
Cons
I really don't have anything bad to say. Nextiva is a business. Growth takes being nimble, flexible, a team player as well as having talent. It only makes sense to demand same of your employees. In return you get all the pros I mentioned above. Nothing unusual here.
