Pros

Good benefits, time off and sabbatical.

Cons

I had very close relationships with the executives and know first hand they cannot wait to sell the company. Some execs are good people but some are all about revenue and it never seems enough revenue to pay a bonus to its people. The CEO is smart but the COO loves himself more than anything. The COO is driving this company to the ground and is the reason it is falling apart. Sad to see as there are long time employees that loved the old Flexera. - Execs discuss areas where they can "cut" people and "eliminate" roles every quarter just so they can meet revenue and avoid the word "layoff".

Pros

There are no pros to working at Flexera!

Cons

At Flexera you are: Micro Managed, beat up weekly, put in a territory that has been milked, generally treated like garbage, and your sales career will be less than 3 years before you move on. Inside team competes with outside team. Named team competes with non-named team for accounts. It is a terrible work environment! Also, Flexera uses Microsoft teams for something it wasn't intended to do, so you cannot communicate well internally.

Pros

-Potential for high commissions -Growth through acquisition instead of innovation is still growth, I guess -With that said I genuinely can't think of any others **that aren't already standard at every other company**

Cons

-Heavy priority on "management" instead of "leadership" -Lots of buzzwords on being a great organization, no actual proof of it in the day-to-day operations -Relentless focus on irrelevant metrics resulting in -Misaligned commission incentives vs. company goals -Forecasting seems more highly valued than actual selling -Highest turnover rate I can ever remember seeing -Total lack of respect for management amongst employees in private conversations -Backed by Private Equity -Draconian travel policy (pre-covid) for everyone (except top leadership of course) -Managers have an incredible lack of sophisticated understanding of their own complex products

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear your experience at Flexera wasn't a positive one. We have, in the past two years, implemented Leadership and Management tracks to help develop our talent. Candidly, yes, we do hold our teams accountable and leverage metrics, which is in line with one of our core values #keepscore. Our attrition rates are actually below the industry benchmark, but I do appreciate that our culture may not be for everyone. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all of the comments seriously and use it as a way to understand where we need to improve.
