Pros

Had some good clients if you can hack the environment

Cons

Didn't feel like a 'real' company Stuffed in a room with too many people, sitting on top of other people very uncomfortable. Terrible computer systems , working on 10 year old mac's that barley run software No HR Had a strange vibe, no direction, no leadership, very clicky

We regret that's this candidate's career at Xanda was so short lived. They certainly had good design skills but it was clear to us that the candidate did not fit into the positive culture we have here at Xanda of collaboration, team work and mutual support. Sadly the candidate was unable to accept an invitaton to jon us on our recent team bonding weekend away to Cluj, if they had they would have witnessed first hand how wonderful and close the entire team is. We nevertheless wish them well for the future. As a point of correction, our design team use the latest 27" model iMacs with what remains the top spec sold by Apple for this size including 32GB Ram. The machines are partnered with a 28" 4k monitor to partner the 5k in built screen delivering our designers wonderful real estate and power to do their amazing work. The machines are a couple of years old, not 10 as incorrectly stated, we like many other are waiting eagerly for Apple to finally release a new 27" (or biggger) iMac with an M2 chip!

Pros

Started last year as a data scientist working on innovation projects. The senior management is very understanding on different employees' individual situation and offering great flexibility and work arrangement in need. They have also managed to attract some big clients showing their professional excellence as a web development & digital marketing company. The CEO is very nice to deal with and my technical director is brilliant, encouraging, understanding. They both know how to empower their employees. The senior devs are very competent and friendly to work with. The company operation manger is also really nice and has resolved all my general inquiries quickly during my employment. The company occasionally has banters in chats which says they are treating employees like family. There are also holiday events that are really fun ways for bringing everyone together to build connections across departments.

Cons

There are sometimes sudden meetings without any schedule/notice leading to occasional stacked workloads and miscommunications. But I believe they are looking to improve this at their best.
