Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you appreciate our flexible working approach and our commitment to Inclusion & Diversity, particularly in our hiring practices. We’ve put a lot of effort into constantly improving how we hire and ensuring we always have diverse candidate slates. And we regularly hear from our employees that they appreciate our flexible working policy, to help people balance work and life. We’re sorry to hear other parts of your experience at Xplor haven’t been great. We welcome all feedback, and provide multiple ways for employees to share it – on our internal communication platform, or directly to managers, senior leaders and our People team, and anonymously through our regular engagement surveys and our Whistleblowing hotline. As you’re still an employee, please feel free to use one of these channels to share more of your concerns, so we can properly address them. We opened our India Talent Hub last year, as India is a great place to hire tech talent and we’re proud of our new team there, how they’re coming together, working with our global team and the great features and benefits they’re already adding to many of our products. Our global engineering team is helping us take our products into new regions, delivering more for our customers than ever before. We’re also proud of the broad mix of benefits we provide for our people and how we invest in the growth and personal development of our Xplorers. Over 80% of employees have activated their free LinkedIn Learning licence, so they can access expert learning content whenever they want. Over 50% of our managers regularly attend our leadership development sessions, so they can keep growing their leadership skills. And because we know the importance of great leaders, we offer all our senior leaders regular one on one coaching, so they can keep getting better at what they do. We believe in helping our people grow while they’re with us, and will continue to do more to make this true for every Xplorer. Xplor is still a young company, and we are building foundations for the future – which is why we always appreciate all feedback. We’d love it if you’d consider reaching out to one of our People Team to talk about your concerns in more detail – but thanks for this feedback, we appreciate it. Stefan Welack Global Talent Acquisition Enablement Lead

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.
