Pros

Flexible work time and environments.

Cons

I resigned from the Melbourne engineering team because I disapproved of the "Junior" leadership. They were just juniors in people, vision and executions.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the work environment and the benefits of our flexible work arrangements. We’re proud of our approach to flexible working and know this is something a lot of our Xplorers really value. We are, however, sorry to hear you disapproved with your leadership team. Our People Leaders play a crucial role in building our culture, helping our Xplorers reach their full potential and making Xplor a great place to work. We also know that effective leadership is a journey and understand no single style will work for everyone and every scenario. To help Xplorers take the next step in their careers, we promote from within whenever possible which sees some of our Xplorers transition into their first leadership role. We agree that giving people the right tools and training is crucial, and we’ve just launched our first leadership development program called Leading at Xplor that our people leaders are going through now. We’re committed to equipping all of our managers with the resources and support they need to keep growing their leadership skills. We’ll continue to listen to all feedback, as we use it to develop and support Xplorers and to keep improving the way we work. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Stefan from the Colleague Experience team

Pros

I still get to work with the team I was acquired with (those who weren't unceremoniously canned at least).

Cons

-Insists on a hyper rigid corporate model, and it shows everywhere. In product development, leadership, HR. There's so much bureaucracy and rigidity in getting an answer to anything and all it means at the end of the day is that everyone you go to for help or clarification will pass the buck to the next guy. -Zero regard for employees as people. These people are cheap cheap cheap. It shows in salaries and benefits (worst US medical premium coverage I've ever seen), but also in subjecting employees to using terrible outdated tools, and in laying people off at a moment's notice with no regard for them or the workloads of those left behind. HR/People team where it seems like nobody knows what to do or how to help; everything is someone else's job. -It is a mess internally. It's a company made up of 20+ other products/brands, and nobody's talking to each other because nobody even can talk to each other. Everyone's on different systems, different payroll, different Slack, different Teams, two different versions of every policy, it's a joke. -It's depressing as hell watching them buy up other companies, fire half of them, and suck the soul out of those left behind. -I had a job I loved before we merged with Xplor. It's been less than a year here now and I cannot get out of here fast enough.
