Pros

Unlimited PTO is standard but basically a farce

Cons

Who doesn’t love a place where butts in seats is a motto, daily 8:30AM meetings to prove you’re online, and if your zoom background looks different, you’ll get peppered with questions as to why you’re embracing remote work life; but really why aren’t you at your desk working? All the recent bad reviews are extremely accurate, and I can vouch that nothing has changed in the last month since the launch of the inquisition to find out who spilled our dirty laundry. Team engagement is all time low, “management” empathy and willingness to try things differently is an all time low. You have managers sending nasty emails telling team members to basically be good puppets and participate to their expectations instead of working together with the team to foster and build better culture. In the last 6 months, we’ve had practically every decent middle management and supporting leaders leave, almost every two weeks. Everyone knows they leave for better culture and support that isn’t coming from the Director and above level (the money really doesn’t even matter). Also, who doesn’t love at least one creepy/entitled man in each role across the company to make you feel real uncomfortable, question how they’re still even here, and who allows their behavior to continue?

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.
