About Nexthink
What is Nexthink?
Nexthink describes itself as "the leader in digital employee experience management software" — software that "provides IT leaders with unprecedented insight allowing them to see, diagnose and fix issues at scale impacting employees anywhere, with any application or network, before employees notice the issue". Its stated mission is "to delight people at work". The platform combines "real-time analytics, automation and employee feedback across all endpoints", and recent postings say Nexthink now enables "more than 1,500 customers to provide better digital experiences to more than 25+ million employees". The company's own about page records a founding date of 2004 and around 1,200 employees.
Where will I work?
Nexthink is "dual headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland and Boston, Massachusetts" and says it "has 9 offices worldwide", spread across 11 countries, with engineering and product concentrated in "hubs like Lausanne, Madrid, and Bengaluru". Live vacancies also cover London, Paris, Munich, Tokyo, Riyadh and several US cities. Most roles are hybrid: adverts describe a "Hybrid work model balancing office and remote work, with a structured approach for new hires to foster connections and onboarding", and many name the split outright — "3 days in the office, 2 days at home". A smaller set of field and sales roles are advertised as remote.
What is the Nexthink team like?
"We call our employees 'Nexthinkers'." The engineering and product organisation "unites 400+ experts from over 40 nationalities", and the company reports 60 nationalities across the business as a whole, operating "as One Team, connecting, collaborating and innovating to continuously grow". The careers pages emphasise autonomy — "We trust you to steer your projects and encourage you to shape your role" — alongside growth check-ins through the year, annual reviews and merit cycles for promotion.
Work-Life Balance
Nexthink's hiring FAQ states: "To support work-life balance, we provide unlimited Paid Time Off, parental leaves, and volunteer days." Job adverts use the same wording and then add the local baseline, which differs by country. Switzerland reads "Flexible Hours and unlimited vacation (employees have unlimited paid time off on top of the 25 days of holidays we offer) plus 3 company-paid volunteer days"; Spanish adverts quote 23 days; US adverts quote 15 days of holidays, 11 company-paid holidays and 3 extra days for volunteering. Flexible hours are advertised everywhere. Nothing published mentions a four-day week, a 32-hour week or compressed hours.
