Pros

Nice office, solid pay great people

Cons

In the past year and a bit, Flexera has undergone a complete overhaul after being purchased by a new PE firm. Benefits have been slashed massively, if someone leaves, they are either replaced with contract labor or shipped off to India. Flexera had a great culture, but the forced changes to try and have "culture" have made it worse. Flexera was a family, now all I see is the long-term employees sad that the company they've invested so much of their life in has become the typical company that sells out for the cheap buck. HR communications have been worsening with the new management change. My suggestion to anybody looking at Flexera, look elsewhere.

Thank you for leaving a review. Again, we point to our job listings-- we continue to hire full-time employees around the world. Just this year we opened offices in Asheville, NC and Santa Barbara, CA. And we're proud of our Team in Bangalore - they, like the rest of our employees around the world -- do great work for our customers.

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.
