Exciting Place!!!

Pros

Very energetic group! Nearly everyone is laser focused on doing everything they can toward executing on vision and that kind of alignment is very rare in most organizations. There is always something to learn and colleagues are supportive toward achieving results. The CEO brings a great deal of positive thinking that sets the tone for those that are paying attention. There are also some great recent hires that bring great value and experience to the existing team.

Cons

The place is trying to mature itself and that process can feel uncomfortable for junior colleagues. Individuals that can visualize the result of the transformation will do well and those that dwell in doubt will inevitably fall short. For people that want to really grow themselves, this is an exciting and rewarding period of bringing a business out of the cash burning investment phase and into the profitably scaling business phase, but this is not for everyone.

Thank you for your note. As Maxwell grows, we're going to continue to evolve our processes and systems to meet the needs of our clients and our team. We'll get a lot of things right and sometimes we'll make mistakes. My hope and expectation is that we'll build upon our successes and learn from our shortcomings, with a constant eye on getting better every day. Veer P.S. Yep, it's true. I'm a glass half full kind of person. Solving big problems is hard! A healthy dose of positive energy helps me power through the day. Hopefully it rubs off a bit now and then.

A Whirlwind of Change and Anxiety

Anonymous employee

Pros

Maxwell Health is a young and vibrant company filled with enthusiastic and ambitious people. Most of the office is young and everyone seems to get along well with one-another. The company speaks of high values around diversity and family which is apparent in the people that work there.

Cons

While the office is young and energetic, it creates a weird office culture centered around who you know and what you do there. The leadership team will often appear to be transparent and forthcoming about change but its not actually like that. Over the duration of time that I worked there, a handful of people were quietly dismissed from there roles with little or no warning. This created a lot of anxiety for current employees and further created a culture of fear. Initially they provided one breakfast and one lunch a week, both of which were cut for some reason and with no real explanation. Veer, the CEO is a cool guy and appears to have your best interest but quickly after the initial courting can seem cold and distant. Julie, the head of services, is disingenuous and the company has a lot of questionable practices which only add to the anxiety of "will I have a job in a year?"

Thank you for your note. As Maxwell Health scales and takes on harder problems to solve, the team is going to evolve - we're going to grow, learn new skills and get better at what we do. We'll bring on new teammates with different experiences whose contributions will be important as we grow. And, at times, Maxwell may not be the right fit for certain colleagues. Their contributions are valued but their talents and energy may be better focused elsewhere. All that said, I never want anyone on our team to feel anxious about their position at Maxwell. If you feel that way, please come see me or your manager. Veer P.S. I'm not sure it's fair to say that I'm "cool". I mainly listen to top 40 music and throwbacks from the 80s. I'm definitely focused, that's for sure. But "cold and distant" isn't fair. {a bit hurt, I must admit}... Also, Julie is one the best leaders I've ever worked with. She is an incredible mentor and coach and she's deeply committed to the success, both personal and professional, of every single person on our team.
