Pros

Out of all the businesses in the world, not many are working on something truly world changing. Xplor is one of the few that are tackling the status quo in the education space so that our future generations can grow far beyond what we can ever imagine today. The leadership team together with Mark, really cares about the employees and the customers. A champion team can achieve amazing things together! There is a very pragmatic approach driven from Mark and the leadership team - we are here to make education great, and we will work smart and hard to get there. The teams and people are highly driven and easy to get along with. We have a very flat structure and people are encouraged to talk to each other, without any bureaucracy or red tape. Xplor is a company with very ambitious goals, and with it, a lot of opportunities to learn and to grow, both as an employee and as a person.

Cons

As a startup with ambitious goals, the pace isn't for everyone. If you are looking for a cushy job or a top paying job you'd better look elsewhere.

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.
