Pros

Benefits. The benefits at Flexera are generous. However, the intention behind the move to unlimited vacation time really means that the company does not have to pay for back "owed" time during a layoff.

Cons

Flexera appears to be in a race to the bottom and this is entirely driven by the desire to optimize profits. I understand the logic, however, the over-emphasis on the bottom line means that the company values offshoring and hiring in locations where they can pay the least. Customers are sometimes alienated by the extreme increase in prices of products and services. Products often suffer from quality issues. I have witnessed the effect this has on morale -- especially those who are on the front line. Also, the company has lost many of their best employees who have sought better pastures. A quick look at the number of times Flexera responds to (i.e., has the last word) on Glassdoor reviews, should tell you something. There are still some good, honest employees and everything is not all negative, but the cons outweigh the pros from my perspective.

Pros

Great people, great culture and pretty good work life balance. Salary is competitive and benefits are good (not great). They also have a fully remote business model that helps with work life balance. If your in a couple areas you can go into the office if you want to however.

Cons

Some fragmentation in the business makes driving positive outcomes more difficult then it should be. A little bit of a feeling that you have to justify your existence, nothing too severe, but it does add to some anxiety about job security.

Thank you for this. Glad the culture, people, and remote flexibility are resonating. The point about fragmentation and job security anxiety is heard. That feeling should not be part of the day to day experience and we are paying attention to it. Your suggestion on bringing SMEs into QBRs is a good one. Decisions are better when the people closest to the work have a voice. We appreciate you taking the time to be that specific and will share this internally.

Pros

Good remote working options are available

Cons

Direct leadership frequently used 1:1 meetings to discuss personal matters rather than tracking project timelines, yet would later blame subordinates when timelines slipped. It was an incredibly uncomfortable environment where it felt impossible to succeed. Good ideas would be implemented and well-received by others, but direct management would find something negative to focus on, like claiming it took too long Communication from direct management was passive-aggressive and often crossed professional boundaries. The language used in team settings was frequently inappropriate, including the use of highly offensive, derogatory language disguised as jokes. I was uncomfortable most of the time I worked there.
