Culture

Computer professionals work in cubicles in a nonsmoking environment. Travel is limited to those supporting remote field installations or international users. Standard office hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. A 40-hour to 50-hour week is standard, with no overtime pay. Computer professionals are offered the opportunity to work independently in a friendly, collegial environment for a fast-paced, rapidly-growing entrepreneurial company.

XcelleNet observes 10 holidays and offers 7 sick days a year. Employees earn two weeks of vacation to start, three weeks after four years, and four weeks after eight years. The company pays for disability and life insurance, for tuition reimbursement, and the majority of the costs of medical insurance. The company matches employee contributions to a 401(k) plan and there is an employee stock purchase plan (ESOP). There have never been any layoffs.

Candidates

Computer professionals should have technical skills matching XcelleNet’s environment (C, client/server, communications and networking skills). A college degree is preferred. Candidates should be able to work well in a team environment. Trainers and consultants must also have excellent communication skills. Current staff members have from 3 years to 15 years of experience and an average of a Bachelor’s degree. The company does not hire entry-level professionals.

With XcelleNet’s recent growth spurt, the company hired 80 new computer professionals in the past year. Candidates are found through employee referrals (50 percent), employment agencies (20 percent), advertisements (20 percent) and a combination of Internet and unsolicited resumes (10 percent).
