Tough Economic Times, but Amazing Place to Work - Specialist Lexia Employee Review

Work-life balance, coworkers, work-from-home, good benefits

There used to be unlimited PTO, but now there are 20 days (still a good number of days, but one drawback.)

I was never overloaded with work, had coworkers who cared about the mission, and the benefits were decent. Lexia was a great place to work until it became part of Cambium.

The senior managers at Lexia are out of their depth. The company scaled quickly but didn't replace senior managers with people who know how to lead a large company. Past Lexia, at the Cambium level, it is even worse. The current CEO shows up occasionally in all-hands meetings and literally reads from a script, then spends a lot of time posting on LinkedIn about how she's a top CEO. The private equity firm that owns Cambium does what PV firms do - squeeze companies for money until they finally die. This is happening with Lexia now: multiple rounds of layoffs, entire products that are no longer supported, a company culture that expects everyone to always be happy and excited about everything and never push back. It was sad to watch it all fall apart. Relieved I'm no longer in the chaos.
