Pros

Flexible PTO, good people outside of management

Cons

- Despite promises made during recruitment process of an open, supportive and growth oriented atmosphere, Xplor instead focused on a culture of public humiliation and bullying by management. Resulting in an atmosphere where team members felt constantly on edge, always bracing for the next verbal assualt. - Communication from management was often conflicting and confused. An objective or change of "vision" one week can be completely changed at the drop of a hat. Messages were often conflicting and confused, which created unnecessary tension and a lack of trust in the information disseminated. Decisions were made without any consultation or explanation, leaving employees feeling disrespected and undervalued - toxic behavior by management went unchecked. Despite several complaints to higher management and HR, no action was taken to curtail this behavior, which further emboldened my manager and left me and my colleagues feeling helpless and trapped - Below market rate pay I write this review not out of spite, but in the hope that it can serve as a cautionary tale for potential future employees. Companies that fail to understand the value of their employees and create a hostile work environment are simply not worth the toll they take on your mental and emotional health.

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.
