Pros

Xplor employs many smart and dedicated people. Most of these folks joined the company through acquisition of other startups.

Cons

The company vision to be the best employer is total nonsense. They cut benefits every year and do not invest in people. There is no real vision or strategy for the business. Senior leadership doesn’t really know how to build product because their model has been mainly acquisition.

Xplor Technologies Response

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the people you worked with. We think our Xplorers are pretty great too. That said, we’re sorry to hear that you don’t think our company vision is clear, and that we’re not investing in our people. At Xplor, our purpose is simple – to help people succeed. And to bring that purpose to life, we have quarterly global All Hands sessions with our CEO and the executive team, and then each vertical has more regular Town Hall events, to get into the detail. Along with regular 1:1s and team meetings, we think this is the right mix of forums to be able to hear from leaders at all levels, about our Xplor-wide and then team specific goals. We’ll continue to invite every Xplorer to these global All Hands sessions to hear directly from our leaders. During our latest All Hands, the leadership clearly shared the product strategy for the year, which has been followed up with at a vertical level since. This information is then shared again on Workplace, so we’d encourage you to make sure you’re asking for help if you’re not sure where to find the information you’re after. Because of how quickly we’ve grown, we know things don’t always work as smoothly as they should, but we’re making progress on this all the time. We’re proud of how far we’ve come already, and we believe there’s great things ahead. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback – thank you.

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.
