Pros

Some employees are hard working. Good first job as there is little clear definition of roles and accountability so you would get lots of varied experiences. The management has tried and struggled to define cultures and values that are meaningful, but at least they are trying.

Cons

Struggling to define the growth path of the company Management has been doing it so long in a vacuum they have lost perspective on what a healthy growing company looks like. Many co-workers phoning in their efforts on the job (including senior management) which creates a bad the work ethic which is very sporadic across the organization. Biggest issue is that sales are transactional and the product is a commodity so it is hard to differentiate so cost is the only place to stand apart from the competition.

Pros

- The most professional, highly skilled and experienced teams that I have ever worked with, hands down - Huge technological first mover advantage - Open office environment with access to all team members at all times - Support and understanding at all levels - Great work/life mix - Consistent positive team building activities - Good employee interactivity inside and outside of work. - Everyone at Xignite are true workaholics, must be an inherent personality trait to succeed - I personally LOVE working at Xignite, after a year, Im still excited for every day, which helps

Cons

- None really, a great place for the right personality type - must be a highly skilled workaholic - everyone is 150% dedicated to Xignite, must share the same dedication to grow - The Financial Data segment is not the most exciting, but Xignite is the one spark of excitement in the space. - Its challenging to make global financial data "sexy", but the delivery model is truly unique, a saving grace.
