XO Communications Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"XO Communicaitons is on of the worst environments to work in I have ever been in. The company is set up for failure in a big way and the people in the company are losing skills to make them marketable. I have to call out one Director that has taken one of the highest morale teams in XO and squashed them in 2 years time to crate a miserable team. There is not enough I can say bad about him because there are not enough bits in the web to allow me to complete the rant against this guy."
