good place to work depending on your role

Sales

Business Outlook

Pros

The people that work here are great, benefits are solid, and the CEO is transparent around the performance of company and plans to improve. Middle-management here is filled with exceptional people.

Cons

The sales org needs work. A lot of turnover and unless you have a great territory you will probably struggle and not receive much support. Not a place where people that put in the work necessarily get rewarded, very territory dependent. It is more rare than not for reps to hit quota. Sales leadership up to the director level is good, leadership beyond that is not. Mostly buzzwords and slogans that come from leadership rather than clear plans to execute on. Constantly felt like we were just being told what we wanted to hear, resulting in a substantial gap in trust and poor outcomes. In the past year there was a constant energy of being on high alert as micro-management was picking up across the sales org, The intent is not to bash on Expel but to provide transparency around the sales org. The product is awesome and the people are great, I just wish I had someone to tell me these things before I decided to work there.

Best place to work? Maybe outside of sales

Pros

Sales leadership adjusts team quota based on lack of attainment. Base comp is high.

Cons

Attainment outside of SMB is < 30%. Promotion path is based on 6 months of rolling quota attainment, which under current conditions no one is eligible for. Complicated because I'd likely recommend the org as a whole to a friend, just not anywhere that's quota carrying.

My Dream Company

Senior software engineer

Pros

When I l decided that it was time to leave my former employer and seek new employment, I promised myself that regardless of how long it took, I would hold out until I found my dream company. It took quite some time, but finally I found Expel. I get to remotely most days which affords me the opportunity to see my kids and be actively involved in the family. Expel goes out of its way to retrofit all the conference rooms with Zoom webcams which makes it great for remote employees and we don't feel like second-class employees. In addition, they have a great company culture. I've never worked in a company where cross-team collaboration is not only encouraged, but is the norm and happens on a daily basis. The company also takes their employees welfare seriously. It is often repeated that our life priorities should be (1) Our faith and health (2) our family (3) the company. Having worked in many companies which expect health and family sacrifices for the good of the company, this has been refreshing. I have really enjoyed the culture of transparency as well. It has been great to approach an executive (who make themselves very available) and ask them a question and get straight answers.

Cons

Expel is a new company, so this brings a couple challenges: 1) There is a risk (very low, I think) that Expel might not make it and we'll have to look for new jobs 2) This isn't a company where you can just "punch the clock". Work isn't stressful, but everyone works hard 3) There is a 401k account provided, but there currently isn't any matching, but that will probably change in the future
