Pros

Expel is the best place I've ever worked. Yes, the tech is top-notch (we’re solving real problems for customers in an innovative way), but what truly makes Expel special is the people. You won’t find a more kind, smart, quirky, and authentic group anywhere else. From day one, I’ve felt safe and encouraged to be myself, and not in a cliché way. It’s a place where weird is welcome and individuality is celebrated. Leadership is transparent and accessible, and I’ve had the opportunity to try new things, grow into new roles, and be part of meaningful projects that move the business forward. My manager is the best in the business, supportive, sharp, and truly invested in my growth. That kind of leadership is rare.

Cons

Like any startup, change is constant. We’re past the scrappy build stage and are now focused on scaling, which comes with growing pains, shifting priorities, occasional process overload, and the reality that not every experiment works out. There’s also been some turnover as expectations evolve and the culture matures. But if you're resilient, flexible, and motivated by solving new problems, it's the kind of challenge that keeps things interesting.

Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful review, it genuinely means a lot. We’re so glad to hear that your experience at Expel has felt like a place where you can be your full self and grow in ways that matter to you. That’s exactly the kind of environment we’re aiming to create and protect. You’re absolutely right that scaling comes with its fair share of growing pains, but we’re committed to learning, iterating, and doing right by our people along the way. Thank you for being part of what makes this place special - the kind, smart, quirky, and authentic folks who keep showing up and helping us move forward. We’ll keep focusing on the team, because without great people, none of this works.

Pros

The interview process was absolutely seamless, and I felt well informed about next steps and expectations every step of the way (shoutout to Brandon!). Every single person I met was warm, inviting, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of the Expel team, which made the decision to accept my offer an easy yes! :) The onboarding experience was intentional and thoughtfully personalized to my role, with a checklist that was easy to follow and trainings that built naturally week by week in a way that never felt overwhelming. We also had the opportunity to participate in new hire meet and greets with leaders across the organization, and what continues to stand out to me is the level of transparency, authenticity, and humanness every leader at Expel brings.

Cons

The success of current AEs at Expel is super inspiring, which sets a high bar and everyone is very driven, so it can take a bit of time a to fully ramp and feel confident in your role initially. It also takes time to build key relationships and earn trust with partners and customers, so consistent presence, early territory engagement, and ongoing relationship building are critical to long term success.
