Pros

- Great company for entry-level professionals to get their foot in the door and gain experience in the tech and data center industry. - Collaborative teams and supportive coworkers who are willing to share knowledge and help you grow. - Opportunities to learn and develop foundational skills that can boost your career trajectory. - Unlimited PTO and Sick Time*: Managers will tell you it's not actually unlimited and limit you to 4 weeks a year.

Cons

- Recent WFH Policy Changes: The new work-from-home policy has severely impacted employee flexibility, particularly for those who have been productive and successful in remote roles. Employees feel "shafted" by these changes, as HR's response has been dismissive, effectively saying "tough luck" and urging employees to adapt without meaningful discussion or accommodation. - Below-Market Pay: Compensation is notably below industry standards, which is frustrating given the above-average expectations placed on employees. Many feel overworked and underappreciated in comparison to peers in similar roles at other companies. - High Expectations: The workload and performance standards often exceed what is typical for comparable positions elsewhere, leading to burnout and frustration. - Poor Communication: Leadership’s rollout of policy changes feels disconnected from employee concerns.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback. It’s clear that you care deeply about your role and the overall culture at Flexential, and we appreciate that time you took to share your experience. We’re proud of our commitment to Hybrid Work, which has been a maximum of two days a week and takes into account both commute times and distances for our local staff. While other companies are going into the office 4 and sometimes 5 days a week, we’re confident that this is the best approach and has taken into account a lot of feedback from our employees across the country. We also work hard to pay competitively in a way that is lucrative for our team and keeps the company financially healthy both in the short and long-term. For workload, we’d encourage you to have a conversation with your manager directly on what may be creating a feeling of burnout and dissatisfaction for you. Set up time with your leader to discuss and come up with a plan that supports you personally and professionally.

Pros

* I believe that my boss cares and wants to progress. * There’s a huge future in the Data Center market. * It’s possible that the CEO will one day care about and empathize with the employees.

Cons

* Mandatory In Office Days * Low Pay * Really bad health benefits. Super expensive! * Commercial real estate ROI is more important than employee satisfaction.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your honest feedback. It’s encouraging to know you feel supported by your manager and see the potential in Flexential’s growth within the data center market. Thank you for also sharing your concerns regarding office policies, compensation, and benefits. We are on the lower end of the benchmark compared to most technology companies with an expectation of two days a week in the office and we continue to strongly believe that in-office work strengthens our culture through collaboration and teamwork. Regarding benefits - although there was a significant increase in the cost of benefits aligned with national averages, Flexential chose to absorb all the premium increases, so our employees saw no increase to their 2025 medical premiums. Aligning employee expectations with business goals is essential to our mission, and we’re always working to create a better balance. Thank you for your candor and insights as we strive to make Flexential even better.
