Pros

Great products and vision , strong new team finding their feet and committed to being successful . Very reference able customer base . Strong products that are now finding their place in the market and a market that is taking off with new players . X-IO have a strong past so are well positioned to capitalise on the new trend for hybrid / full flash storage, cloud and VDI .

Cons

Although not a start up, lots of start up challenges , lots of change ,lots to do , not enough people , hiring new people , building team etc etc .. this is good and bad depending if you know what you are getting into .. satisfying when it comes together though

A sinking ship...

Pros

Not many. The raw storage pricing is better than the big competitors (HDS, HP, EMC, Dell).

Cons

Senior management has no clue how to make a company successful, and frequently suffers from an overly inflated sense of the companies importance with respect to vendors, partners, etc.

Instability and irrelevance.

Pros

The product engineers are passionate and remarkably talented. The company has a legacy of hiring great talent and had some good success in the early days.

Cons

The company has gone through 10 CEOs in 14 years. The latest CEO brought in several new executives who negatively impacted the culture. The technology seems intriguing at first, but you soon realize that the lack of enterprise features makes it impractical for all but the most niche environments.

X-IO Response

Thank you for your comments although I had to look at this several times to be absolutely sure it was from 2015 not 2014. I apologize for how long a response took but I've been slammed interviewing all of the great people who want to come work here since Bill Miller took over. Good advice - "transparency" is one of our core values and I think we demonstrate that through Bill's candid responses and "up-dates" on Yammer and at company meetings. The fact that Bill removed cubes at the front of the corporate office by the entry way and employee kitchen and set up his office there so he could be accessible to everyone is also a show transparency and accessibility - we're all in this together!. We love input submitted through Glassdoor and take it very seriously so we appreciate you taking the time to write and wish you good luck in your new job.
