Pros

Competitive Salary and benefits Remote work Philanthropy focused

Cons

Code base is unmaintainable with many many different versions deployed to different client environments Engineers are asked to manage deployments and on calls, most of the work is putting out client-specific fires Leadership cut many engineers and staff last year without any performance review or opportunity to improve after going away on a "Leadership Retreat" Clear favorites within the company Management will yell at you in retrospectives if you call out any issues even if you present potential solutions

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.
