      Pros

      - The employees are very carefully chosen to ensure that all departments work well with one another. Everyone knows everyone and we work very closely together. Each person is very easy to get along with. People are serious when they need to be, but know how to be relaxed and laid back. - Monthly all hands meetings from top to bottom so that we know what each department has been working on in detail. We are told about any upcoming changes and our long term as well as short term goals from the CEO and CRO. - I have worked here for a long time and much more recently the management has been very accommodating. Processes are being put into place to help reduce the workload and stress. - New HR in conjunction with our operations team has been fantastic. The new benefits as well as more company wide initiatives (volunteering, game nights, team activities) have been a welcome change. Our hiring process is much more streamlined and allows us to discuss more in depth about each interview. They even went as far as to come in early to cook the entire company a warm breakfast in the morning. While it doesn't happen often, was a very nice gesture and much appreciated. - Agile processes are being put into place and are being successfully implemented. This makes each project much more detailed for both internal and external usage so that we cover more edge cases that may cause issues down the line for testing. - Knowledge share has become a larger focus. Developers sit down with the other teams every couple weeks to answer any lingering questions that may need to be answered. This helps identify potential bugs or learning gaps that need to be addressed. - Senior management is very approachable. As long as you talk with them ahead of time, you are able to sit down with them and hash out any concerns you may have. Of course we have HR to go through which is the recommended path, but being able to talk directly with the CEO allows for better clarification for any issues you may need addressed. - Learning is encouraged greatly. Stipends are given to help you better educate yourself in your field of choosing.

      Cons

      - The workload is neverending. There is never any downtime and it continues to pile up. Work hours can be long if people are not productive throughout the day. Time management is key if you want to succeed here. - Senior Management still has a ways to go. While process are being put into place to reduce work stress and long hours, it seems that it is not as high a priority as it should be.

      A Company with an Amazing Vision

      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

      You will work with some of the smartest, most caring people you'll ever meet. Every team has people who know what they're doing and are open to working together to get things done. Several projects are done by a collaboration of different sides who all work together and get stuff done. The work/life balance is fine and is helped by the company being fully remote. There's flexible PTO so no need to accrue and you're generally actually able to take that PTO. The health benefits are all fine and standard but you'll be paying a good chunk out of pocket for dependents. The work itself is decent enough and if you're looking for a foot in the door for tech, you'll find enough to get yourself familiar with different aspects of the tech space and how they work. It's a mature company but still in startup mode so you'll likely find it to be a good learning experience without too much corporate fluff in the way.

      Cons

      The company still being in startup mode is often a source of the downsides. Despite how long the company has existed, it constantly feels like there isn't enough people to do what needs to be done, not enough resources to hire/keep people or use better tools, and sales basically drives the entire company from top to bottom. Product decisions are made based on deals more than need even when leadership says they're looking at ways to add to the product for mass adoption. There were projects that just got stuck unreleased because leadership pulled resources for items that would get a deal signed or show to a prospect. It was better than before from what I understand but the product is showing it's age and competitors are starting to surpass Fluxx. It used to be the top choice but there's so many others now and others that are rapidly evolving while Fluxx drips products and focuses on buzz items over core updates. In addition to trying to attract bigger and bigger customers to get bigger deals, Fluxx continues to take on projects it is not ready for. The most recent was one that they've tried to do a few times, have not succeeded at, but pinned a lot of the company's success on. It's clear that chasing growth and profit is important for the top but the inability to execute is going to cause more problems that employees end up shouldering more than anyone making the decisions. Every company needs to make money to keep people employed and the lights on but it doesn't seem like leadership at Fluxx knows how they're going to grow without stumbling. It seems like chasing deals like they are without focus on the core product will just keep leading to bad, insupportable deals. Fluxx also took several strides toward embracing DEI but recently laid off both of the people who were leading that team and leadership is still very much not reflective of the diverse staff and customer base that Fluxx has. It's something to watch for but it feels a lot like the company is using it to look good while not actually seeming to follow up on it. Even with the council leads, it was unclear what the council was supposedly doing to advance DEI. It often felt like the actual mission was to get acquired again since things are stagnating and it's getting to be clear that it's all hands on deck to save the ship mode.
