Growing Company - Pros and Cons

Pros

Awesome environment - great office space, parties, unbelievable perks, food brought in for employees, retreats, amazing location. Inspiring CEO: is smart, progressive and entertaining; he has a strong vision and gives 1000%. Innovative product; the company's road map has potential for long-term success These are the smartest and most dedicated group of people I've ever worked with - I've learned a great deal from everyone. There are a handful of genuinely caring people who want to make a difference. This company pushes employees and expects the best. I've never worked these many hours and worked as hard - which in turn has helped me grow tremendously.

Cons

Long hours and in some cases, unrealistic expectations from management. I initially believed this company was different then traditional corporate. On the outside it is (the perks, unique work environment, funny website). However, once I got here, I was disappointed. It feels a little like smoke and mirrors. Here's the deal...I only share this so your eyes are open if you chose to work here. There are some awesome benefits - the best I've ever experienced. However, be aware of the following: - Training and job resources are decent. But once you begin your job, in general, you have to rely on coworkers to get up to speed. Many of those coworkers are also new and depending who you ask, you'll receive a different answer. Management still expects perfect results and quick turnaround times. -Inexperienced management. - Be careful who you trust. There's lots of smiling and excitement, but keep your guard up. - At times can feel like a cut throat environment.

It really saddens me to hear that you don't feel you can trust everyone here. That's fundamental to who we are and the key to our success. Maxwell should never feel cut-throat. We've taken on a giant problem in the American healthcare system, and we'll only accomplish what we need to as a cohesive team. Let's talk about ways we can address this issue, please, please come talk to me! In regards to training, some of this comes with the nature of a startup - we're inventing new technologies and processes every day, so there will always be room to improve. Our team members and our internal team wiki are front-line resources to share best practices and institutionalize processes. We do a lot already in terms of training, including coaching, mentoring, bringing in outside expertise, formal and informal courses (both for our own teams and the community), documentation of best practices, expert talks, etc, but we’re always looking to improve, and we need your feedback in order to do so! You should ALWAYS feel empowered to reach out to anyone on our team - our management especially - for a one-on-one meeting. There is nothing more important in my job than to make sure your voice is heard, and to that end, I've already scheduled meetings with every single person on our team starting next week. Take advantage of that time, and if you want to meet with me or anyone else sooner, all you have to do is ask. You should never feel like there will be consequences for voicing your concerns - this company is yours, and you have a responsibility to speak up if you disagree with a decision or you have an idea to help us improve. I mean that. -Kelsey Sullivan

Maxwell is a Rocketship

Pros

The mission is the first thing anyone will talk about at Maxwell. Every single person here is committed to transforming this backwards healthcare system. In everything we do, why we're doing it is most important, and it's awesome to see how individual contributions affect our larger goal. This is also an incredibly diverse place, with people from all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life. Especially in the technology and insurance industries, both typically dominated by white men, Maxwell's diversity statistics are unprecedented. There is a culture here of empathy like i've never seen. The team here is incredible. Everyone around me is whip-smart, and ultra-motivated, but perhaps more importantly, I've never met a group of kinder, more welcoming people. There's a real passion for the work everyone is doing, and people actually like working and spending time together. I spend most of my weekends hanging out with Maxwell friends. The opportunities for growth here are amazing. This is a young company that's growing and changing, and new opportunities open up all the time. People that show exceptional commitment, creative thinking, and dedication to the people on their team are promoted often. That said, promotions aren't handed out - they're definitely earned. The office is brand new and amazing, located right downtown. Benefits are covered 100% and we just added lots of new benefits to our package, including pet insurance and a bunch of financial benefits. This is a FUN place to work. Cocktail hours on fridays, unlimited vacation, quarterly retreats to refresh and celebrate. I'm drinking the Maxwell kool-aid.

Cons

These aren't cons for me, but they might be for some. The hours are long, and hard work and high-quality execution are expected. We're solving huge problems for this country, and that's not a 9-5 job. Employees are given a lot of autonomy and are expected to think outside the box to solve big problems, and you're expected to reach out for help when you need it, and give feedback when you disagree with decisions. Managers are SO supportive, but nobody is going to hold your hand or do anything for you. You're responsible for your own success!
