Pros

NZXT has the following advantages -Is always looking to expand and improve. -Standard stuff like paid time off and sick leave -New events from HR to help relieve stress and hang out with coworkers -The CEO that truly cares about everyone, he treats everyone like family. -Fantastic transparency on company products and new projects. Also very upfront about sales numbers and company growth. -Casual wear in the office, most people here are gamers so it results in a relaxed environment sometimes.

Cons

Sadly this is where the good things end, as they are easily outweighed by the negative issues plaguing this company. -Upper management sets unrealistic expectations of employees. -Upper management is not transparent about changes in departments, constantly at each other's throats as well. Not good at finding compromises -Upper management likes to do the carrot and stick approach. Usually though the reward in the carrot and stick approach is you get to keep your job. -Management is always looking for ways to save money. Hires less people then needed. -Company lacks foresight and is essentially an echo chamber of thoughts. -Heavy nepotism, a large amount of internal hires are friends and family. -High stress environment due to these issues, seen many employees quit to find a healthier environment to work in. -Upper management is relatively abusive to their employees.

Pros

Wonderful people. Loved my manager and Creative Director. Honestly one of my favorite places to work.

Cons

They are getting hit hard and have been getting hit hard with round after round of layoffs for the past 2-3 years. Only one person I worked with in the past 4 years is left there.
