Pros

Benefits and perks are amazing. No premiums on insurance. Open vacation policy. Flexibility to work from home. Happy hours every week. Fully stocked pantry and refrigerator. The people you work with are very friendly. There are over 100 people in the Boston office spread over two floors, so I do not have regular contact with all employees. I have always felt very welcomed by almost everyone in the office and, after being here for a while, still feel welcome and appreciated. I was warned that all the work you do is not recognized, so I should be okay with that, but I have found that I have constant recognition of the work that I do. This recognition is done in private, but I didn't take this job to be publicly acknowledged. I feel that there is a lot of room to grow professionally here. My supervisor is great in terms of mentorship and working with me to continue on a defined career path. The company also offers a mentorship program to work with people in other disciplines to further your knowledge of other parts of the company.

Cons

The culture here can be a little intense. There is definitely a culture of working longer hours than at other companies. I have found that I am able to work an 8-9 hour day and go home and relax and my work does not suffer, but there are others who feel the need to work much longer than that. It is a culture that is easy to get swept up in, but I have not received any backlash from the schedule that I keep.

Thank you for your note. The problem we're trying to solve is hard and as we make strides each week and each month, we're having a meaningful impact on people. That's what gets me up every day, knowing that we're giving our best to make the world a bit better. So, yes, Maxwell can be a bit intense at times. But no big problem worth solving can ultimately be overcome without focus, hard work, some play {obviously required} and a healthy dose of intensity. I appreciate the advice on helping to paint a clearer picture. We've definitely made a lot of progress on this through the course of the year. By all objective measures, Maxwell is a very transparent organization and I make it a priority to communicate both where we're succeeding and where we need to improve. That said, I know we can be better and we'll work on that. 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.
