Vantaggi

There are a lot of really great, really smart, really talented people working here. The work is interesting and engaging. The executive leadership is passionate, easy to talk to, and has a grand but achievable vision for the company. The compensation and benefits are fair.

Svantaggi

Unfortunately, all of those pros are being undermined by new management of the software development team. Personality conflicts have split the software development personnel into two separate teams and driven away some of the quality talent. Much of the remaining team feels micro-managed, demoralized, and stripped of ownership of their dev processes and products. The dev process is supposed to be Scrum, but is owned and run by management, who uses it as a weapon against the teams. Constantly changing direction, processes, and team re-structuring come from management who never leaves any change long enough to see if it works.

Vantaggi

I worked at Pixia full-time for about 7.5 years. I left only because I had an offer I could not refuse and felt it was a great opportunity for me. That being said, if things go south with this opportunity, I would have no problems returning to Pixia if they had an opening. The best part about Pixia is the people and the culture. The people at Pixia are very professional, outgoing, helpful and friendly. I enjoyed working with these people very much. In addition, the people at Pixia are very smart. I learned something new every day and never felt like I could not ask questions or offer my assistance and knowledge when needed. The environment at Pixia provides challenges to those who are interested and willing to step up and accept a challenge. The software developed at Pixia is fairly complex and the environment where the software is deployed presents many problems. Often times it is up to the development and engineering teams to solve problems outside of the box. This provides developers and engineers the freedom to explore new technologies and techniques from the community and of their own.

Svantaggi

Pixia has had some struggles getting a software development process working to maximum effect for a number of reasons that are fairly typical, in my opinion and experience, of smaller companies. As a result, release cycles can sometimes be tight and a little chaotic.
