Empowered employees but pressure to stay billable - Lead Consultant Xebia Employee Review

Great Team to work with

No Cons with Xebia here

Some genuinely strong talent across parts of the organization, particularly at the delivery and individual contributor level. Entrepreneurial energy exists in pockets of the business, especially within acquired teams.

Lack of decisive leadership at the top, an underpowered board with limited global technology experience, and a culture that too often favors proximity to leadership over measurable performance. The private equity sponsor brings deep experience from non-technology sectors, but little track record in scaling complex, global IT services businesses—visible in weak governance, strategic drift, and inconsistent execution. The departure of many founders, including the original founder stepping away entirely, has coincided with a rapid loss of ownership mindset, long-term continuity, and the entrepreneurial drive that originally differentiated the firm.
