Pros

- Remote work environment - Fair healthcare options - Bonus structure - Some travel depending on position

Cons

- Lack of transparency and effective communication - Constant leadership turnover - Inconsistency at the Executive level Leadership is completely out of touch and clueless as to how to run this company. I literally watched the CEO of my dept return from maternity leave and post an announcement about high-level executive layoffs "softened" by a promise for "baby pictures soon!". It was shockingly tone-deaf and a huge red flag. This company bought a ton of smaller companies and has absolutely no direction from leadership on how to manage them. They seem to be spinning their wheels most of the time and the constant changes in approach and direction for projects cause them to usually completely derail. Overall, they don't seem to have a vision for the future of this company, morale is about as low as I've ever seen at a tech company with no plans to improve it in sight (they aren't hitting their overly ambitious company goals so don't expect bonuses, travel, or any sort of perks).

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about Xplor. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying our approach to flexible working. We know this is something that matters for a lot of our people. That said, we’re sorry to hear there are some parts of working at Xplor that you’ve not enjoyed. We’re a relatively new company that has grown quickly through merger and acquisitions. We’re very open about our big ambitions and what we’re trying to achieve. That means we still have a lot of work to do in bringing together all our tech, teams and tools, but we’re proud of the progress we’ve already made in this area, thanks to our incredible teams. We encourage every Xplorer to make an effort to stay connected with all our progress, and to clearly hear the vision for our future, by joining our regular global and team All Hands events, and by logging in to Workplace (our internal platform for connecting) every day. Our purpose at Xplor is clear – we're here to help people succeed. We do that through our unique combination of smart software, embedded payments, and commerce-accelerating technologies. We’ve got fresh goals for 2023 that we’re confident we’ll reach and we'll share these at the upcoming Q1 Global All Hands. Thanks again for your feedback. Stefan Welack Global TA Enablement 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.
