Pros

The product engineers are passionate and remarkably talented. The company has a legacy of hiring great talent and had some good success in the early days.

Cons

The company has gone through 10 CEOs in 14 years. The latest CEO brought in several new executives who negatively impacted the culture. The technology seems intriguing at first, but you soon realize that the lack of enterprise features makes it impractical for all but the most niche environments.

X-IO Response
10y
Thank you for your comments although I had to look at this several times to be absolutely sure it was from 2015 not 2014. I apologize for how long a response took but I've been slammed interviewing all of the great people who want to come work here since Bill Miller took over. Good advice - "transparency" is one of our core values and I think we demonstrate that through Bill's candid responses and "up-dates" on Yammer and at company meetings. The fact that Bill removed cubes at the front of the corporate office by the entry way and employee kitchen and set up his office there so he could be accessible to everyone is also a show transparency and accessibility - we're all in this together!. We love input submitted through Glassdoor and take it very seriously so we appreciate you taking the time to write and wish you good luck in your new job.

Pros

The base product, the ISE unit, is second to none in IO Density and ability to get what you pay for, with very high reliability. With the addition of the new features offered by iglu, X-IO can cover the majority of use cases in a storage environment. The new management team is focused on driving continued investment in developing great products which will build on the base of the unique technology and provide added value to the customers business. In addition, a commitment to the Channel Partners and their ability to make profit is a big differentiator. Finally, all the customers I have met have been very positive about the direction and the new leadership of the company, not to mention their deep satisfaction with the products they have purchased from X-IO.

Cons

Mostly awareness of the company by many folks even in Colorado! I believe the marketing team is working toward changing that, but it is going slowly.
