Pros

Great opportunity to develop/improve industry knowledge, be involved in cutting edge innovation & engineering, close knit community of brilliant engineers if you work out of the Boulder office. Depending on your position, some have the ability to work remotely.

Cons

The CEO has a proven track record of innovative, developed technologies, that could truly change the market landscape however, the management team consistently falls flat to achieve significant business wins, particularly when closing partnership deals and/or closing customer contracts. This directly impacts commission/earnings of sales individuals, who are responsible for nearly the entire sales process (with the exception of closing, left to the top level sales manager): prospect, qualify, develop & build vetted business relationships. Being that it is a small, "start up", most employees on the sales team will be asked/highly suggested by superiors to overextend themselves to support multiple positions/roles. This is a good opportunity to learn new skills, however, don't expect to be financially rewarded for taking on "out of scope" responsibilities. It may be of significant note that most of those that hold "executive" positions, with the exception of the CEO & CFO, work remotely from various parts of the country, therefore leadership & true direction/career visibility/time are often difficult to come by. Payment and compensation of work is not a reflection of the actual work completed or achieved goals, no matter the proven background of the individual employee, nor impressive results achieved while in the position of employ with nVoq, well documented over years. No 401K match, stocks are worth little to nothing as nVoq is a privately held "start up" (of 18 years) The employee turnover outside of upper management is astonishing and concerning to put it bluntly. Employee retention is not a priority to those in "executive" positions.

Pros

I have never worked for a company that truly cared or their employees as much as nVoq does. Your input is valued and appreciated! You are able to meet with your executive leadership without fear and they want to hear your ideas. Cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is.

Cons

Can't think of anything to be honest.
