Pros

The fact the job is remote

Cons

Lots of concerns here A new hire joined at the start of the year - Nothing more than a bully, mocking another team member after they were signed off for mental health reasons and having pointless meetings to inflate their own ego & forcing employees to request approval when moving around the UK (The role is remote so don't know why that is an issue). A non accountant being appointed as accounting manager over a fully qualified accountant (The person subsequently left). Since January 24 - All people from minority backgrounds have left the said team(one hire was only there for a few months) this doesn't seem like a coincidence considering all other member of finance are not from ethnic backgrounds.

Explor Ever since Explor was purchased by a PE firm, every aspect of the company to the most granular detail has effectively gone up in flames. For anyone who needs context, PE firms are parasites that steal exorbitant amounts of money from the companies they buy out - and then they have 26 year old matcha drinking ‘financial associates’ in some high rise in NYC make pivotal business decisions that negatively affect hundreds of employees’ lives all because they learned in an MBA class that making the ‘costs’ line in the Excel spreadsheet go down would make the ‘profit’ line go up. The first ‘strategic’ business decision made was to cut down on software developers (to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel), which has resulted in a WORSE product - then they hiked the price on customers (Again, to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel) which as anyone would have expected, enraged ALL our customers. The resultant employees who didn’t abruptly leave are now tormented daily with more and more ignoramus ‘strategic’ business decisions and treated like ants that a child is playfully burning alive with a magnifying glass. If you want to be treated with any human dignity whatsoever, Explor will not be a good fit for you. However, if you want every day at work to feel like you are a participant in the Stanford Prison Experiment while simultaneously having to take calls at all hours from every customer who wont stop asking “Why does the software I pay money for to run my business no longer work”, Explor will be the perfect future employer for you to take that big next step in your career.
