Pros

Work life balance Good benefits

Cons

Extremely disorganized leadership following acquisition. Management brought in made assumptions without understanding how teams or products actually worked. Multiple rounds of layoffs that have been ongoing for years, creating constant instability and fear. Loss of institutional knowledge as experienced employees were laid off. Outsourcing and frequent team changes negatively impacted collaboration and quality. Poor communication and lack of transparency during restructuring. Culture was amazing at my company before Xplor acquired it, after it was downhill from the structure and leadership.

Hi there, Thanks for sharing this – and for being specific about what didn't work. That's genuinely useful feedback. Integration after acquisitions is one of the hardest things any company does, and we know the experience isn't always smooth for those living through it. When teams that have built something great suddenly face new structures and new leadership, that transition needs to be handled carefully, and your feedback tells us where we need to do better. We take the point about communication and stability seriously. How change is managed matters just as much as the change itself, and that's something we're continuing to work on. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback. We wish you all the best.

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.
