Pros

* I believe that my boss cares and wants to progress. * There’s a huge future in the Data Center market. * It’s possible that the CEO will one day care about and empathize with the employees.

Cons

* Mandatory In Office Days * Low Pay * Really bad health benefits. Super expensive! * Commercial real estate ROI is more important than employee satisfaction.

Flexential Response

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your honest feedback. It’s encouraging to know you feel supported by your manager and see the potential in Flexential’s growth within the data center market. Thank you for also sharing your concerns regarding office policies, compensation, and benefits. We are on the lower end of the benchmark compared to most technology companies with an expectation of two days a week in the office and we continue to strongly believe that in-office work strengthens our culture through collaboration and teamwork. Regarding benefits - although there was a significant increase in the cost of benefits aligned with national averages, Flexential chose to absorb all the premium increases, so our employees saw no increase to their 2025 medical premiums. Aligning employee expectations with business goals is essential to our mission, and we’re always working to create a better balance. Thank you for your candor and insights as we strive to make Flexential even better.

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.
