Pros

The San Jose office is extremely quiet mostly because its comprised of sales engineers that are remote. The few people in the office are nice overall. Pay is about industry standard. Benefits could be better but decent. Quarterly meetings/presentations from business management is useful to see where the company is headed (or lately not headed).

Cons

Sr VP/VP management is really in-experienced in their fields surprisingly. There is a services sr. vp that doesn't quite understand the SaaS model and how operations are supposed to run and ends up sending the entire team into several directions to "sort it out". Then on the flip side you have an IT VP who doesn't really have real-world IT experience but knows a lot of buzz words. Combined together the services organization is typically in fire-fighting mode non-stop. That increases stress levels and turn-over. The engineering team is more of a shortest path of least resistance organization where they do the bare minimum.

I am part of an amazing team at Flexera and I love what I do! The peace of mind and flexibility the company offers, I have not seen it anywhere else! I am valued and empowered in the work I do and my contributions I bring to the table.

Cons

Lack of training programs, mentoring, or clear pathways for internal promotion.

Pros

Good remote working options are available

Cons

Direct leadership frequently used 1:1 meetings to discuss personal matters rather than tracking project timelines, yet would later blame subordinates when timelines slipped. It was an incredibly uncomfortable environment where it felt impossible to succeed. Good ideas would be implemented and well-received by others, but direct management would find something negative to focus on, like claiming it took too long Communication from direct management was passive-aggressive and often crossed professional boundaries. The language used in team settings was frequently inappropriate, including the use of highly offensive, derogatory language disguised as jokes. I was uncomfortable most of the time I worked there.
