Pros

Some teams had strong, supportive managers who genuinely tried to do right by their reports. The company offered remote work, generous PTO, and competitive compensation. Certain roles allowed for a high degree of independence and autonomy, and there were opportunities for employees to stretch into responsibilities outside their prior experience.

Cons

The company grows too quickly without the operational maturity to support that growth. There was a top-heavy leadership structure with many layers of executives (VPs, SVPs, Directors), but little alignment between them. Decision-making was inconsistent, and priorities shifted frequently. Roles were often poorly defined and under-resourced. In some cases, employees reported to multiple leaders with conflicting expectations, while lacking the authority or visibility needed to be effective. Success depended heavily on informal inclusion rather than clear ownership or documented processes. Leadership spoke frequently about culture and values, but these were not consistently reflected in actions. Layoffs and reorganizations felt abrupt and poorly communicated, creating a sense of instability and low psychological safety. There was noticeable leadership turnover, which further contributed to uncertainty and loss of institutional knowledge. This environment may work for those who thrive in ambiguity and political navigation, but it was challenging for employees seeking clear scope, accountability, and sustainable execution.

Hi there, Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review. It's clear you've reflected carefully on your experience, and we appreciate the detail. The points about role clarity, alignment across leadership, and the gap between values and day-to-day experience are the kind of feedback that helps us improve. Scaling quickly creates real growing pains, and the challenges you've described around decision-making consistency and informal vs. formal structures are things we're actively working through. Your comment about not expecting your advice to be heard is noted, too. We know that trust comes from what we do, not what we say in a Glassdoor response. Feedback like yours does reach senior leaders, and it contributes to how we're creating clearer structures and more consistent communication. Wishing you well in whatever comes next.

Explor Ever since Explor was purchased by a PE firm, every aspect of the company to the most granular detail has effectively gone up in flames. For anyone who needs context, PE firms are parasites that steal exorbitant amounts of money from the companies they buy out - and then they have 26 year old matcha drinking ‘financial associates’ in some high rise in NYC make pivotal business decisions that negatively affect hundreds of employees’ lives all because they learned in an MBA class that making the ‘costs’ line in the Excel spreadsheet go down would make the ‘profit’ line go up. The first ‘strategic’ business decision made was to cut down on software developers (to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel), which has resulted in a WORSE product - then they hiked the price on customers (Again, to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel) which as anyone would have expected, enraged ALL our customers. The resultant employees who didn’t abruptly leave are now tormented daily with more and more ignoramus ‘strategic’ business decisions and treated like ants that a child is playfully burning alive with a magnifying glass. If you want to be treated with any human dignity whatsoever, Explor will not be a good fit for you. However, if you want every day at work to feel like you are a participant in the Stanford Prison Experiment while simultaneously having to take calls at all hours from every customer who wont stop asking “Why does the software I pay money for to run my business no longer work”, Explor will be the perfect future employer for you to take that big next step in your career.
