Excel Impact

Before joining this company, I had worked in the industry, so I had a good view of how different places operate. I was at this company for a year. 

First off, when we gave feedback or ideas, it often was ignored, no matter job title or seniority. I only saw ideas from founders got any real attention. Good suggestions from others were quickly brushed off and this happened a lot while I was there.

The company often changed its main strategy and that made things feel chaotic. This made it hard for people to finish projects or push their own ideas forward, leading to a lot of frustration, short deadlines, and long hours. 

The work environment was not a good one to be in. Some C-level execs would put people down in meetings, in front of the rest of the team. Not over big issues, but most of the time they were making too much of small mistakes. It came across as some just liked having power over others, which really hurt morale and made people leave.

Also, some founders were too controlling, needing to make every decision, and stepping over team leaders in front of everyone. This caused a lot of the team to have confusion and the leaders to feel like they weren’t valued. It messed up how teams worked together and trust in the workplace, also made some of the people feel job insecurity and burnout. 

Talking to some of the founders were harder than others. With some, when you would bringing up new ideas, you'd often face pushback with some for no reason. They didn't want to hear different views and were quick to argue, dismiss, laugh at, or ignore you. This was the normal interaction when I tried talking about hiring needs, how to manage projects I was brought in to grow, or even how to run meetings with one of the main C-level execs.

There are some long-time leaders on the team who were kind, understood people well, and were great to work with. Sadly, their good influence didn't make up for the negatives since their ideas were dismissed just as much.

There was a focus only on what went wrong all the time, without stopping to celebrate other peoples accomplishments. I can't remember a time when there was more than a quick comment about something positive, but I remember quite a few long conversations about either myself or another person’s “lack of focus”. 

Looking back on it, all of these things combined to make my experience overall negative.

My typical day at Excel is a blend of engaging tasks and collaborative meetings. It starts with a quick team huddle to set the day's priorities, followed by a mix of project work and strategy sessions. The environment here encourages a proactive approach to tasks, making every day both challenging and rewarding.

Over time, I've learned the importance of adaptability and continuous improvement. The company invests in its employees, offering various tools and training to help us stay ahead in our fields. I've grown not just in my technical skills but also in my ability to work as part of a dynamic team.

The workplace culture here is one of the best I've experienced. It's an inclusive and diverse setting that celebrates creativity and innovation. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas, and this collaborative spirit is palpable throughout the office.

The hardest part of the job, I'd say, is the high expectations set for performance and delivery. The company operates at a fast pace, which can sometimes be demanding. However, it pushes you to exceed your own limitations, which is incredibly satisfying in the long run.

As for the most enjoyable part, it's the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing projects that have a real impact. There's a collective joy in celebrating these milestones, and it's further sweetened by the knowledge that your work is contributing to larger goals.

Excel is not just a workplace; it's a platform for growth, learning, and making a difference both personally and professionally. I am proud to be a part of this organization and excited for the future it holds for me.


Excel stands out by genuinely delivering on the promise of a great workplace culture, something quite rare. Since starting here in 2019, I've been consistently impressed by the company's dedication to its values, fostering a motivating and dynamic work environment.

Here, every team member truly embodies our core values. We often say, "It's okay to be wrong, but be wrong fast." This mindset encourages us to innovate and push our boundaries while learning quickly from our mistakes. The support here is incredible, with every team member eager to help each other succeed by providing the necessary tools and resources.

Transparency and alignment across the company aren't just buzzwords; they're real practices that make everyone feel included and important. Working with top-notch colleagues pushes us all to improve and grow, both professionally and personally. 

And let's not forget - it's an incredibly fun place to be! The combination of a strong, vibrant culture, the flexibility of being 100% remote, and an unwavering trust in our collective vision, makes Excel an exceptional place to grow and Excel:-) .

In short, Excel Impact is more than just a company; it's a supportive community. It's the perfect place for anyone looking for a meaningful career in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

Excel has been a transformative journey filled with valuable experiences and personal growth. Working extensively with multiple teams has taught me the principles of extreme ownership, something I was lacking. The flat organizational structure also encourages open communication and swift decision-making. It's been inspiring to witness the tremendous growth of the company over the years. I've had the opportunity to contribute to diverse projects across different departments, gaining a holistic understanding of the company's operations and fostering a sense of ownership in my role. The star of the show is the culture! We operate like a sports team – diverse, talented, and always working towards a common goal. From brainstorming sessions fueled by laughter to after work social hours, there's a true sense of camaraderie. Like any role, there are challenging days but Excel does a great job balancing a challenging work atmosphere with a supportive culture. It's really impressive. I am genuinely proud to be part of this innovative and growing company.

Excel Impact is a great company to work for and it's fully remote. It's one of the best companies I've worked for. 

The pay is fair and the bonus structure is generous. The company is unusually transparent and ethical with it's business practices and to it's employees. Excel genuinely appreciates the value each person brings to the company and finds opportunities to express that appreciation. The company values are real and people do care about them.

Excel began as a startup and has a "Work Hard, Play Hard" type of mentality rather than a "Corporate" or "Wellness" culture.

Appropriate for a fully remote company, Excel measures performance in "outcomes" not "hours worked."

You'll do well here if you are a proactive person who likes autonomy and you appreciate constructive criticism that helps you improve.
You may struggle if you thrive in a structured environment or want to specialize in a narrowly defined role with consistent duties. 

While some companies promise good culture, Excel Impact delivers in ways you couldn't even imagine coming from a regular company. I started my journey with Excel Impact just over a year ago, and can confidently say their culture, work environment and general philosophy of doing business changed my life. It is an exciting to see when everyone from entry level to C-Suite living and breathing the core values they promote. If you thrive on being in an environment that doesn't believe failure is an option, Excel Impact is the place for you. You will be surrounded by a team from the ground up who will do anything in their power to see you succeed, provide you any tools or resources necessary to help and support you all the way to the end. All in all, I cannot recommend this company enough. I am looking forward to plenty more years of growth and accomplishments with Excel Impact and the team!

Excel gives the rare opportunity of a startup culture with Fortune 500 mentality. They operate as a sports team, and every player is responsible for training and their own success within the team. If backed with data or proven examples, you can define what success looks like in your role without the need of higher-up approvals.  It is a place where you can push the boundaries, and if it doesn't work, figure out the lessons learned and try a better solution next time. It is entirely remote, but the team members are some of the best and you almost wish they could all be in the office together more often! Highly recommend Excel to anyone looking for their next opportunity to showcase their talent.

A place of exceptional meritocracy, Excel prioritizes impact and growth, fostering a culture of extreme ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning. It empowers employees to bring forward innovative ideas and drive execution effectively. The environment is cross-functional and highly collaborative, allowing for efficient integration of diverse skill sets and perspectives. Processes and operations are well-defined and supported by an abundance of data and analytics, which helps drive data-driven decision-making and strategic planning. The team comprises some of the finest professionals in the industry, making it an ideal workplace for those aspiring to excel alongside leaders and innovators.

I was looking for work/life balance and Excel offers that plus a lot more. The leadership is conscientious and transparent. With many new challenges we work alongside each other to figure out solutions, as we go.  If you're looking for a job that will challenge you to own your responsibilities and offer new problems to solve daily, this is it. If you're looking for a job in which you can be a cog in a wheel and go unnoticed, you won't like working here. 

The remote culture the company has embraced is truly unique and inspiring. The level of transparency is unlike any job I've had before, this can be scary when we discuss changes that could impact your role, but it's much better to see the storm coming than to be surprised when it's too late. 

One of the core values of Excel is personal responsibility. In this company people take true ownership of their areas and are treated as CEOs of their own position. Innovation is a prerequisite here. If you are looking for an easy 9-5 this isn't the place for you. Here you need to think by yourself how to drive your area forward every single day, as you are responsible for the decisions, as well as the results. If you have an innovative mind and enjoy a good challenge, this might just be the place for you. This applies for all positions throughout the company, not just for management or similar roles.
