Pros

Great team depending on the team/product you get to work with, remote work or flexible hybrid if you live near an office, management is pretty hands off if that's your work style

Cons

Poor leadership, inconsistencies between the product teams and countries despite years into merger (if you talk to staff or ask how they like their job you will get HUGE differences in reviews based on which offering they work for), HR is terrible, sneaky company (make sure you triple check your paystubs, vacation balances, etc.), unsupportive management. Majority of clients are miserable, trying to get out of contracts and RFPs - don't see much longevity (they're lucky there aren't many competitors for clients to switch to in Canada).

Xplor Technologies Response

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed our flexible working style and the people you’ve worked with. We get a lot of good feedback from Xplorers about our flexibility, and we definitely think we’ve got some of the best people at Xplor too! We’re disappointed to hear that in other areas you’ve not had a great experience at Xplor. That’s not what we want for any of our Xplorers – we’re really sorry about that. There are a few things you’ve mentioned that concern us and we’d like to look into these more. So we can investigate properly, if you’re comfortable please share your feedback via our anonymous whistleblowing hotline. You can do it via the website here: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/108567/index.html Because of how quickly we’ve grown by acquisition, we know things don’t always work as smoothly as they should – for example, we’re still doing a lot of work bringing all our tech and tools together. We’re really open about this with our Xplorers and ask everyone to play their part in helping us get it sorted. We’re only just getting started on our journey to make Xplor a great place to work and we know there’s still work to do, which is why we’re committed to listening and reflecting on all the feedback we receive – so thanks again for taking the time to share yours. Stefan Welack Global TA 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.
