Now known as Verisk

Is this your company?

Great Company, however, I allowed them to take advantage of me, which they did happily. - Anonymous employee Xactware Solutions Employee Review

Pros

Great people to work with. Excellent benifits including transportation, Health and Dental, a gym, 401k matching, etc. People are very kind, and i remember my sister (who was temping for the company for a few months) got a flat tire in the parking lot. By the time she called me and i got where she was pulled over, i found our CEO laying in the dirt trying to get the jack in the right position. It's very casual, and most schedules are flexible. I could come in at 6 am and leave at 3pm or come in at 10am and leave at 7pm without notifying anyone.

Cons

For a long time, there were no cons. However, i applied for a promotion and was denied in spite of performing similar responsibilities the whole time i was working for them. Two days later, i was given responsibilities from that position. When i brought it up with my bosses, they made excuses.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
