Pros

Window desk from the 4th floor

Cons

High-turnover environment! Despite sales numbers being met, a meddling co-founder assigns herself to sales opportunities at random intervals. She tries to micro-manage people who do not directly report to her, using broad and verbose philosophy that carries minimal value to sales process. Sales leadership and other executives do not question her, for unknown reasons. My previous supervisor, who initially supported me in leading up sales efforts, had essentially flip-flopped and became a personal critic ever since. It all began one day when the co-founder remarked how I should be her "personal assistant." Lots of political BS. Not a culture of skill, instead a culture of loyalty and rampant ego. My main regret is that I didn't leave the company sooner.

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.
