Pros

Great looking technology. Great client list . Great CTO.

Cons

Unfortunately, Management is ill-equipped to run a growing business. Two of the Founders (CEO and CRO) that are involved in the business side are immature and lead by fear and intimidation. The CTO however is smart and great. The CEO has a great disdain for the clients and look out if you disagree with him, no matter if you are a client that expresses a need. It is not received well. They have an attitude of "my way or the highway". And if they treat their clients with such disdain you can imagine how they treat their employees. They don't value their staff and it is a very volatile environment. That volatility makes it a cut throat place to work with most people having to look out for themselves out of fear. It doesn't take much to get fired at Fluxx. They have an attitude that you should feel indebted to them that you are working there.

Pros

Fluxx is a great company work for, it si one of the few places i have worked where the spirit of the company is closer to a nonprofit or mission based organization.

Cons

As they have taken on investment they have had to formalize porcesses which means it is not as much like a start up anymore. It is fully remote nut they do try to get everyone to knwo each other

Pros

100% remote work provides excellent flexibility. Truly mission-driven organization focused on making a positive impact for grant makers and the communities they serve. Unlimited PTO is a meaningful benefit when supported by your team. Flux attracts talented, intelligent people, so you're surrounded by strong peers who challenge and inspire you. CEO Christie genuinely cares about employees. She communicates openly, addresses difficult situations head-on, and creates a sense of transparency and compassion that starts at the top.

Cons

My experience was heavily impacted by my direct manager rather than the company itself. I worked under an authoritarian management style that emphasized control over coaching, which created an environment where it was difficult to ask questions, learn from mistakes, or build confidence. I often felt unsupported and lacked the clarity and guidance needed to succeed. While I can't speak for every team at Fluxx, my experience demonstrated how much a single manager can shape an employee's overall experience.
