Pros

Great product, people mostly friendly, good pay. The people were the best thing about it (but see below).

Cons

Bad benefits, too many cliques, unclear goals, moving goalposts. Lots of old hands leaving, lots of new people coming in. Very much "the cool kids" vs. everyone else, and woe to you if you aren't one of the cool kids. Some managers try to micromanage from other countries, which goes over about as well as it sounds. No one to talk to if things aren't working out. No support for employees. They pay lip service to teams and the team concept, but if you actually try to work as a team . . . can't have that.

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.
