Tons of potential but leadership & management are a mess

Pros

- The Fluxx product is good. When Fluxx first came out they were by far the most innovative grants management software on the market, but since then others have emerged with equal if not better (more client centric) products. - Casual work environment - Overall cool people

Cons

- The product is pretty unstable and clients aren't very happy overall. It's only a matter of time before they get outpaced by another company. - The CEO has no business being in charge of a company - Poor people management across most teams - Very little focus on client happiness

Pros

I have been working at Fluxx as a contractor. Fluxx is committed to creating a simpler, smarter, and more effective grant making ecosystem for grant makers and grant seekers by offering a robust platform that serves both sides of the grantmaking equation. The company has spent a number of years with some of the brightest minds in philanthropy and it holds a deep knowledge base as to what makes organizations successful in their philanthropic strategies and associated frameworks. Fluxx is a fast moving start up dedicated to its clients and its community. But more importantly, I have found that Fluxx is also dedicated to its employees. I joined the company to look at new, emerging business opportunities. Since joining, I have been privy to the immense amount of potential. I have been given free reign to develop strategies and the management team has been supportive, engaged and positive. I also see the Fluxx team putting even more strategic and supportive infrastructure in place for employees in terms of some new key hires. They seem to be setting themselves up for scale. It has been a privilege to contract for a company with such an amazing mission.

Cons

It is true that a day in the life can be chaotic, but expected that when I joined. Availability of key staff can be tricky. There are areas of growth needed.

Pros

The people who work at Fluxx are wonderful and the new office space is beautiful! Lots of fun social activities such as a running club and happy hours. The opportunity to use technology to help major players in the philanthropic space is exciting and helps you feel a sense of purpose.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. The company has mastered the art of marketing and selling their product but really sucks at building the processes and infrastructure needed to create a thriving company that motivates individuals, is financially successful, and doesn't lead to burn out. There is no such thing as priorities or making sustained progress towards a goal. Assignments can change at the drop of a hat or based on someone's interest (or based on whatever carrot or pot of money some VC flashes their way) because there is no accountability or ownership of anything. Everyone has their hand in the pot but no one knows how it fits into a bigger picture. This place has so much potential but its best to wait joining the team until they've cleaned up their act. It's too draining and haphazard.
