Pros

Unlimited PTO is the best for someone who's starting fresh at a new company, no waiting period for a day off or need to accrue time. Extrovert's dream, there is always someone to talk to about anything, even bread sandwiches. This company has had the best, immediate responses to threats whether it's a suspicious person or a pandemic, the first priority is keeping it's employees safe and happy and I am truly grateful for that. Speaking of happy, there is always time made for fun for employees who have the free time to take advantage of it.

Cons

The positivity can be toxic. Like any company there are complaints but the unspoken rule is to vent to your coworkers instead of acknowledging it outright with superiors. When employees do reach out I have seen them belittled or ignored, that is the main reason for this Glassdoor review. The overall culture mixed with this experience sends a message of you should be happy just to be here, and results in exploitation. Seeing opportunities for improvement or expressing concern does not equivocate to ungratefulness.

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.
