Pros

Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.

Cons

This company is an absolute disaster for developers. There is no concept of work-life balance, and the environment is nothing short of toxic. Developers are treated like garbage, with zero respect for their time, skills, or contributions. The team lead and engineering manager are the worst offenders—constantly micromanaging, belittling, and demeaning anyone who dares to ask a question or seek clarification. Escalating issues is utterly useless because nothing ever gets addressed. It’s as if management thrives on creating a hostile and soul-crushing atmosphere. This place is a complete waste of time and energy, and staying here will only destroy your career and mental health. To make things worse, their Glassdoor ratings are a sham. Most of the one-liner 5-star reviews are fake, written by RXO insiders to mask the reality and keep the ratings from tanking.

Pros

Great onboarding experience with a supportive team. Leadership has been accessible, training has been well organized, and everyone has been willing to answer questions and help me learn. The culture has been welcoming and collaborative.

Cons

Still new to the organization, so I have not identified any significant concerns at this time.

Pros

Many opportunities to learn from some very bright coworkers. All the lateral moves your heart desires.

Cons

Employee retention is an issue. The practice of laying off good workers to either replace them with cheaper, incompetent workers and/or put a heavier workload on your exceptional employees will inevitably cause turnover and impact the customer’s experience. Upper management’s expectations do not align with what is actually feasible.
