There are good days, and not so good days

Pros

- Awesome colleagues. These people are super smart. - Opportunity for change/growth (if you really want it) - Flexibility with being remote if needed - Benefits are, bar none, the best I've had in my career - I think management does really care about its employees, but at the end of the day, the bottom line is the bottom line. We would not have a job if it weren't for Veer and Vinay. Every day is not going to be awesome and we are heading into Q4 but you get what you put into it.

Cons

- Reply all's can be dangerous when people are logging in late at night to prove they're always working (that's not a good thing) - Trust is hard to come by - Upper management is involved in everything

Pros

It does not matter what team you are on within the organization, everyone is extremely motivated, kind, respectful, and willing to work together to solve problems. Most, if not everyone, is very open-minded to receiving feedback and working through problems, even if you disagree. There is very much a common thread, that is set by the management team, to move together towards toward a common goal. The most important part of that is knowing what our goal is in the first place. The management team as done a great job sharing information freely and setting clear expectations!

Cons

The company has gotten big enough, that a lot of decisions and the process of coming to a decision, are largely done outside the context of most people. There is a LOT of information floating around, either about different aspects of the product, a process, or detailed information about something that is not shared. It is hard to piece together what people are working on and how much overlap / pre-existing work has been done. They need to do a better job of knowledge management and sharing information about day to day work, as they do a good job already of the high level goals.

Thank you for the note. I really appreciate the feedback around providing more clarity and context about day to day work. As we get bigger, this is harder to do, of course, And, conversely, as we get bigger, it's even more important to do well! This is important and we can work on it. Veer

Pros

Overall I had a great experience at Maxwell, it's a culture embedded by young ambitious millennials. Your team and the people around you will be highly motivated to achieve goals. * Great place to accelerate career * Decent 401k match for a startup * Bonus incentive at the end of year (payout happens at end of Q1) * Open to using new solutions if it fits business goals * Flexible PTO * Communication driven organization

Cons

I worked in engineering, and you will burn yourself out if you struggle with time management. There are several unrealistic goals and deadlines placed on engineering, this has however improved. Many people commit themselves to 50-80 hr work weeks and management kindly turns a blind eye on this. Not providing enough supervision creates a culture of promoting burnout. Implementation Consultants and Services members seem to face the brunt of the immense workload. Investing in small in-house automation tooling would ease workload. Tough to get a break unless you have a team that promotes a healthy work life balance. Although there is a communal sense to go on more breaks. Ideally there would be a push from management or HR to go on more breaks.

Thank you for the review. You're right that here at Maxwell, we're surrounded by energetic and ambitious employees and it makes it a great place to work. I agree with you about burnout being a concern, and that is at the top of our radar. We have been working on actionable ways to ensure more balance for employees and will continue to do so. Kathy
