Pros

Lots of perks and benefits, and the CEO likes to throw extra leave around like it's nothing. Feels like they're trying to bribe you. As long as you're happy to submit to the cult of CEO Mark Woodland and not ask too many questions you'll have a great time.

Cons

Questionable ethics - fake 5 star reviews all over their apps, eg. look up Xplor Home on the App Store and Google Play. It also looks like there's questionable reviews on Glassdoor here, by current employees. Hypocrisy - they preach about being humble and obsessing over others, when in reality they only obsess over themselves Not transparent - raise any questions and they'll shut you down straight away Deceptive - they'll tell you nice things to get what they want out of you, and once you've done that they won't hesitate to fire you Toxic community - they'll smile at each other during meetings while stabbing each other in the back in private Cuts corners - produces software features that look flashy and sounds great in marketing, but in reality has many issues in the backend. Marketing also frequency over-promises and under-delivers, leaving you with many unhappy customers.

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.
