Much room for improvement

Pros

Benefits. The benefits at Flexera are generous. However, the intention behind the move to unlimited vacation time really means that the company does not have to pay for back "owed" time during a layoff.

Cons

Flexera appears to be in a race to the bottom and this is entirely driven by the desire to optimize profits. I understand the logic, however, the over-emphasis on the bottom line means that the company values offshoring and hiring in locations where they can pay the least. Customers are sometimes alienated by the extreme increase in prices of products and services. Products often suffer from quality issues. I have witnessed the effect this has on morale -- especially those who are on the front line. Also, the company has lost many of their best employees who have sought better pastures. A quick look at the number of times Flexera responds to (i.e., has the last word) on Glassdoor reviews, should tell you something. There are still some good, honest employees and everything is not all negative, but the cons outweigh the pros from my perspective.

Pros

Some great people to work with

Cons

Poor Management. Turnover of good, solid, smart people is rampant - particularly if they are over a "certain age"

Thank you for your feedback but we couldn’t disagree more with your assessment regarding “aging out” – it should go without saying that we treat all employees equally.

Pros

Benefits are good New Itasca office is nice Small company Small office Nearby fitness center Great engineering onsite Nice individual contributors

Cons

I can’t write an honest list cons because of fear of repercussions and no support or protection from HR, but that should tell you how bad it is.

Thank you for posting. I am sorry that you don't feel comfortable sharing your concerns and it sounds like you are not comfortable sharing with your direct manager either - and that is not our culture.
