Pros

The only pro is that I no longer work there. It's hard to conceive of a work place scenario with nothing good going for it, but Nuix somehow pulled it off.

Cons

This place is so bad I'd only recommend you take a job here if you're long term unemployed or a sadist. Even then I'd still consider taking my chances out on the streets first. The hobos out on the block would be less likely to stab you in the back. Honestly the people working here are simply the worst I've ever encountered in my professional life. Atmosphere in the office is abysmal. I've never worked somewhere so quiet and it's meant to be a sales office. You'd have more excitement in the city morgue with the stiffs. People communicate by whispering which only adds to the bizarre and unpleasant environment. There is zero culture to the place either and attempts to instill it are embarrassing. Once a month the entire office is forced to endure the dreaded "Lunch and Learn". This consists of spending your Friday lunch time in the office listening to someone describe in painstaking detail how they do their job. It is agonizingly boring and totally unnecessary to be forced to endure someone from accounts giving you a blow by blow run down of their eye wateringly mundane job. What they hope to achieve by this is anyone's guess. And the rest: -Sales cycle is far too long (years in many cases) -Marketing campaigns yield virtual no usable leads for the sales team -High staff turnover -Very unpleasant management -Staff flippantly being threatened with the sack -Opportunities passed over to senior sales reps not being worked -Very few deals closing -Wages are much lower than elsewhere -Zero hands on product training provided -Product doesn't fit cold call strategy as it is project based -Office resembles a cow shed (little to no heating in winter) Once I made up my mind to leave I could sit back and enjoy the spectacle that is Nuix. It was like being in a live action version of The Office complete with Ricky Gervais. When I gave in my notice I was never once asked why I was leaving. It's that obvious what's wrong with the place they don't even bother asking people on their way out the door for a reason anymore.

Pros

Salaries are in line with and sometimes above industry average.

Cons

Disregard ratings that are 5 stars because these are inauthentic posts to bring up the score. If you accept a position due to a need for income, don’t stop your job search because tenure at Nuix is short due to constant firings and others who are able to get out ahead of each quarterly wave to drop headcount.
