Pros

Some benefits are okay. Middle management is full of great people who will guide you and be by your side. "Unlimited PTO"

Cons

Can't stress this enough... absolutely zero work/life balance even though they claim to be conscious of your time. They're offshoring engineering to India and not investing in their existing employees. The work becomes overburdening, the salary isn't competitive, and upper management slow everyone and everything down. They stare at spreadsheets provided by middle management and make rash decisions based on little to zero knowledge of the industry they're affecting. Upper management leaves middle management to do all the heavy lifting, creating a toxic culture and breeding burnout. Any proposed travel budget is nixed 6 months into the year because of excessive executive-level spending. During my employment with Xplor, multiple middle managers stepped down to lower positions because of corrupt upper management requests.

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.
