Pros

*Some wonderful coworkers *Catered lunches *Snacks/drinks *Unlimited time off, sometimes

Cons

*Unlimited time off (but is actively discouraged, or scoffed at) *No work/life balance *Pay *Coworkers lacking knowledge *Managers lacking drive *Lots of "yes" men and women *Upper management that actively suppresses employee advancement *Promoting those undeserving of advancement over others who have worked hard Getting down to brass tacks, the company is not as good as the reviews make it out to be. There are snacks and drinks to entice you into the office. There are dog days even. But the bottom line is the bottom line, to the detriment of the employees. Overall the pay is significantly less than similar positions elsewhere, and when confronted about this, the company gives some people a small bump to try and appease them. This has obviously failed. Since the start of the new year, there have been around a dozen management level employees who have left. Often because of issues with pay. There is significant rumblings all throughout the business, complaining about the inability to get the tools to do their jobs(laptops, monitors, access to Salesforce, Gong), pay, work/life balance. Few, if any, are happy at the company. Instead, they stay simply because of convenience. Management is filled with people that say "yes" whenever asked/told to do something, without consideration to what it will do to the product or the employees. This leads to managers who do little to no good. This has happened to the support team, the implementations team, the development team, and others.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying working with your fellow Xplorers. We truly believe we have some of the best people working at Xplor, and we’re proud of that! We’re sorry to hear that you’re not enjoying other parts of your experience at Xplor. We’ve already passed on your feedback about time off, as we know it’s incredibly important that everyone uses their PTO/Annual Leave to rest and recharge. And thanks for your feedback about pay. At Xplor, we believe in fair and equitable pay and benefits, and we aim to pay a competitive market rate for all roles, recognizing the location and market where the role is based. We conduct regular pay and benefits reviews, and if we fall short, we commit to fixing this as quickly as we can. Finally, because of how quickly we’ve grown, we know things don’t always work as smoothly as they should – for example, we’re still doing a lot of work bringing all our tech and tools together. We’re really open about this with our Xplorers and ask everyone to play their part in helping us get it sorted. We’re the first to say we’re not there yet. But we believe we’re building something really special, and we know it’s going to take every Xplorer getting stuck in and working together to make it happen. If you’ve got any other feedback, please also feel free to share it directly with your manager, a leader or someone in the People Team, or if you’d like to anonymously share something, you can do so via our Whistleblowing hotline (just search “whistleblowing” on Workplace). We know it’s feedback from our Xplorers that’s going to help us keep getting better, and that’s why we appreciate you taking the time to share yours – thanks again. Stefan Welack Global Talent Operations Lead

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.
