Sinking ship - Anonymous employee Flexion Employee Review

They have a "low-bureaucracy" approach internally. VERY VERY low. If that's a pro for you, then you might be a great fit here. Employees are encouraged to take ownership and there's a high bias for decentralized control and decision-making, which is really awesome and refreshing. The leadership in the company care tremendously about running a company the right way and it shows. You are fully-empowered (and solely responsible for) to manage and facilitate your career growth and skills development.

The overall revenue model of the company combined with the company's compensation model leaves very little room for compensation growth over one's tenure--for the most part. This may not be a problem for some, but it's not likely to be conveyed during your interview cycle. No 401k matching. Health insurance offerings get noticeably more expensive every year, often resulting in a net paycut for some employees depending on your situation. When times are tough and new work (new contracts with clients) isn't abundant, you are more tied to the lifetime of the contract you are currently on. There have been several rounds of layoffs recently where it's unclear as to the specific details of how one gets chosen to survive the layoffs or not. This results in degraded morale and FUD. Those who don't do well with self-governance and ownership tend not to perform as well as others. The company's revenue mix is still heavily weighted towards government contracts and that can be a real rollercoaster depending on what's going on in government at any given time....

OK if you have no other options, HO in the past. Diversity

They offer a low, but OK salary at first, but after that, basically employees get NO raises for YEARS. Managers are manipulative and very short tempered, the way some of them speak to their teammates is outrageous. There’s also no repercussion towards the managers and because of that the employees suffer a lot. The only good benefit they HAD (past tense) was the generous home office opportunity, but they also took that away even though the office is too small to accomodate all emloyees. They do not understand that not having to commute to work 1-2 hours half a week is a benefit and NOT laziness. If they can’t pay an average salary or have raises or bonuses then AT LEAST save me the commute time. The technologies used are getting outdated as well, the management is very old fashioned (even though they try to make it seem like they are up-to-date; they are not). Everything is slow and the work environment is so toxic that it’s hard to wake up every day and face another day of work at this company. I would have said that the work-life balance is not bad, but sadly some managers do not respect that either and WILL wake you up as early as 7AM if they feel like it. All in all, my time at the company was waisted.
