Pros

The best thing about XPLANE has always been the people. Great benefits. Flexible work schedule/ability to work from anywhere. Interesting and challenging work. Tend to work with very senior people on the client side. The brand has a good legacy.

Cons

XPLANE was a great place to work, but has fallen from grace in the past few months. There was a huge falling out between the CEO and the executive team and most of the exec team resigned. The way the CEO handled the situation was unfortunate and he lost the trust of most people in the org. 25% of the company has either been laid off or quit within a 2-month period and many others are looking to follow. Morale is at an all time low.

The Most Interesting and Challenging Company

Pros

The creative work and exposure to a wide variety of the top companies is incredible. People whom work here are very highly skilled and usually in several areas (ie: strategy, consulting, design, emotional intelligence). Teamwork and authenticity are huge here. If you're a lone wolf type, this is not the place for you. The company doesn't just pay lip service to work-life balance and there's a culture of excellence in everything you do. This company is very tip-of-the-spear in approaches and in thought leadership. Employees are very passionate.

Cons

Getting integrated into the corporate culture can be overwhelming (although it is well mapped out and very actively managed with hands-on support) simply due to the sheer volume of expertise needed in order to be fully functional in front of clients. Passion can sometimes cloud objectivity but they handle it well. Quote from Sr Management: "Inside these walls there is only opinion. Facts come from our clients".

Pros

Autonomy, trust, generous benefits, flexible work schedule, great IT and knowledge management capabilities

Cons

Sometimes people are overconfident about the company's overall capabilities, making it hard to consider other ways of doing things that might better serve clients.
