Pros

Maxwell is comprised of the hardest working, smartest, most awesome people I've ever met. Despite our diverse personal and professional backgrounds we all share the same mission, goals and as our CEO puts it best: we are all looking towards the same star. It is easy to get caught up in the "free lunches" and extracurriculars that have evolved and changed and think everything is changing. But what that tells me is that Maxwell is making tough and responsible decisions in the best interest of our customers and our future. The culture isn't about the snacks - it is about the unique, strong, talented team that is coming together to make a difference in the lives of our customers every day. We all know, especially those of us that have experience prior to Maxwell, how rare and special this is. Maxwell gives you the opportunity to have an impact, if you want to and if you take that opportunity. The interview process is long because once you are a part of the team, you are a valued contributor on day one.

Cons

Like any growing company, we are not without our growing pains. The hours and challenges that come with this complex industry are not for the faint of heart. You definitely invest a lot of time and energy, but you do it with motivation, excitement and an understanding that those working alongside you are doing the same. The peer support here is unparalleled.

This note brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing. I appreciated this comment: "thank you for creating an awesome company with the best team imaginable" ... In truth, it's each and every person on our team that is to be thanked. It's all of us who have built Maxwell. Maxwell is yours. Make it great! Veer

Pros

I've worked at a lot of places over the years so I've developed a strong sense of "red flags" over my time. Before I accepted a position at Maxwell I wanted to meet the founders because I've learnt the hard way that the culture of a company generally starts from the top down. Luckily for me the founders at Maxwell are both incredible and honestly, truly, want to build an amazing company that makes benefits better in America. They are both incredibly passionate about Maxwell, and the mission, and they live up to their own values constantly. If you're reading this you probably already know how rare that is, and how often values disappear when money is on the table. This is not the case at Maxwell and it makes me proud to be here. The other big pro (and when it comes down to it what else really matters) are the people at Maxwell. Incredibly smart, hard working, and just downright nice people surround me every day I'm at work and it's a constant pleasure to work with them. Everyone is genuinely committed to doing whatever it takes for our customers and I've witnessed people really going out on a limb to help in any way they can. Oh, and a minor point but we're starting to build up a really strong remote work culture which I personally think is incredibly important.

Cons

I honestly don't have a huge amount to write about here. Our problems are similar to any company of this age and size, some tech debt to fight, struggles to get conference rooms because we've grown so fast, and touchy wifi! Nothing major to complain about.
