Pros
Culture, Remote Work, Salary, Leadership
Cons
lacking investment in ui overall
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
-Most of the people I worked with were amazing: experienced, very sharp, hard-working, committed. -The work environment at headquarters and remote is excellent. -The pay was high for the role.
Cons
-CSAT was very low for good reason. The product is very old tech (even though in the Cloud) and no way to customize it, so users rely on Product to host and fulfill all needed features/processes. But it is extremely costly to move to a new ERP so users feel unhappy and stuck. -It was frustrating to work on a product with so much incapacitating tech debt. Some of the same, very important, strategic initiatives were continually starting and stopping, as the tech debt made the effort too high to tackle. -They put a few people in management over roles they have never performed themselves. It was difficult to respect a manager who didn't have experience in my role. A couple of key managers did not have integrity: dishonesty, blame-shifting. Several key, long-term employees left Plex for this reason.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The individual contributors and first level managers are all really sharp and hard working. Everybody works really hard. Plex has a lot of great people. (Pre-Covid) There are a bunch of cultural perks like free food, drinks, fun, Responsible Time-Off (unlimited PTO), flex time, training, etc. Overall, it has a great atmosphere...covid has made this not as valuable for the time being, but still the atmosphere is really good.
Cons
Since the original founders sold it a few years back, the latest upper management doesn't seem to have the same core values that the software developers (individual contributors) have. This is causing strain on the culture. The first and second level managers are caught in the middle: trying to keep the positive culture that had been standard while still keeping upper management happy.

Some middle-management issues - gap of knowledge too large making them poor leaders HR team is unapproachable, pushes everything to intranet and email and go-fetch-it instead of let-me-help-you

Pros
Flexibility. Plex can be a great fit for those who work to live. Some of Plex's newer executives are proving much more capable than the earlier installments. Plex's recent acquisition of Kors opens some opportunity.
Cons
Plex boxed themselves in while pursuing an IPO that never materialized. Now a shell of what might have been, ownership seeks a new suitor. A talent exodus continues. Plex's product situation remains a mismanaged mess. Two ERP systems masquerading as one. Nearly the entirety of their revenue base is marooned on the old legacy platform receiving zero invest. With no clean path to the new, once loyal customers look elsewhere. As Plex pivots to a more modular strategy, their only integrate-able products are those acquired from the outside. Plex ERP itself remains impossible to integrate with, despite Plex having poured all engineering resources into the new ERP for what is now approaching a full decade.

Pros
Great coworkers and one of the best opportunities to work in SaaS in the Detroit area.
Cons
I find the "unlimited" vacation thing in my group to be awkward when getting comments about taking off a few Friday's in the summer. I would prefer to have a set number of days that I'm entitled to take. I find certain executives (not all) to be arrogant which really limits the discussion of ideas, which doesn't make it a fun place to work and limits growth potential.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Unlimited time off, some amazing people
Cons
Management is focused on faking numbers and pretty ppt, not on actual deliverables. Software quality managers are just a joke - so arrogant and incompetent.

Pros
None. Unfortunately I didn't find any pros for working in this company.
Cons
No training provided but you're still measured. All about favorites in the company. Management badmouths employees behind their back. Management does not protect employees against violent customers. Overall horrible company.
