Pros

Lots of money to be made if you can ride out the wave of the merger and coax your way into good terms with higher ups. Good experience to get under your belt with some good resources for learning.

Cons

For the ever-growing load of work Flexential keeps trickling down the stream, the compensation seems to be lacking. This merger has caused several roles/positions to be eliminated which has in turn caused a more hectic workload for the rest of us with no adequate reciprocation on pay. Everybody wants more bang for their buck but this company can expect to see higher turn over rates if they keep at this pace with screwing over the side of the team that isn't pulling in at least 50k. Flexential health insurance benefits overview was even targeted to employees making over 50k! Get it together. Not everyone is a privileged single male that lives off of caffeine and gaming. There are folks with families, kids and health concerns that got hit hard by benefits changes.

thanks for the feedback. We worked hard on ensuring we had 4 illustrations within our healthcare overview for 4 different income levels so that we had a relevant example for every employee in the company. In terms of the benefits, we rebalanced how we spend our benefits dollars so that we could offer more benefits to all employees versus focusing on only health insurance. In doing so, we were able to take the 401k match from 50% on 4% to 75% on 6%, increase life insurance, increase tuition reimbursement, and enhance our paid leave strategy (including an introduction of paid paternity leave).

Pros

Flexibility with work life balance Really talented and fun coworkers. Direct upper management great with helping pursue your goals and gathering everyone together to make your job feel like you are in fact a part of a team. This made work enjoyable even when aggravated by other things.

Cons

Compensation and recognition don't match performance. Despite consistent 5-star reviews and going above-and-beyond (taking on extra projects beyond my pay grade), raises were minimal (e.g., 0.9% after a strong first year) and promotions were seemingly gifted on favoritism over performance. Higher leadership (SVPs/L1s) showed limited follow-through on innovative internal projects—e.g., we built data solutions that outperformed enterprise third-party solutions, but they were shelved with only vague "good job" responses and no real investment. L1 attempted to enforce a new corporate policy of flexwork on people living nearly 75 miles away from the nearest corporate satellite office to show. My employment contract did not state I needed to be hybrid yet they enforced it on me even when I didn't have a car and my nearest team member was 3 states over. Policy was dropped after 6 or so months. As a PE-owned company, resources seem heavily directed toward infrastructure expansion (new data centers) rather than employee rewards or reinvestment in existing systems. This leads to frustration when teams outperform but see little financial upside. DCIM and data infrastructure feel under-resourced—limited data engineers, poor visibility into key datasets, infrequent health checks, and surveillance gaps create risks for outages and long-term reliability.
