Challenging leadership style

Pros

You can learn form others there. They've hired some very smart and talented people who were always willing to share best practices and help others. The company was also very open to sharing information with everyone on the team. Very inclusive environment even for people outside of management.

Cons

The leadership style at times is overly controlling. A couple of executives tend to be involved with each single detail of what goes on day to day including some of the most minor things. The controlling style was particularly glaring in the customer service area where the ability to give credit to others or allow them to be the center of attention or recognition didn't exist. It's a systemic problem seen and felt by former and current team members. There seemed to be fear of not being the smartest person in the room for some reason. I saw it stunt opportunities for personal growth and for others on my team to be recognized.

Pros

Motivated, young company that is extremely focused on goals. Professional development is valued and there are a lot of opportunities for learning and growth here. Culture is fun -- happy hours, free snacks, gym memberships, 100% paid for benefits. Hard not to take for granted after 1+ year of working at MH.

Cons

There is some favoritism I've seen at the company. Several people were promoted above others despite their work not being of the same quality. The company holds transparency as one of their key values but sometimes, I get the sense that a lot happens behind the curtain that normal employees are not privy to. Sometimes I get the feeling we are only told what management deems is ok for us to hear. Above all, you get what you put into Maxwell. Work life balance is up to you, and I have not felt pressure to work more than I was comfortable with.

Thank you for the feedback. We are thrilled to hear you are finding the strong culture and professional career opportunities to be a central part of what makes Maxwell Health such a great place to work. We really appreciate you sharing feedback around transparency in the business. Transparency is core to our values and something we work hard to achieve with weekly town halls and lots of opportunities to engage and ask open questions. I would welcome a chance to discuss this topic with you in greater detail. Kathy Breslin VP, People

Transparent...I think not....

Pros

Nice people to work with for the most part, option to work remote, and good benefits/time off

Cons

Lots of false data and false statements by mid and upper level management on the state of the company. The software looks beautiful but full of flaws making it hard for EVERYONE to do their jobs. Salaries in the same position vary greatly on who you know not your experience. Hard to share your opinions or thoughts on the product etc without making someone mad, especially mid level management who maybe clueless or not have benefits/insurance experience.

Thank you for providing feedback. I agree we have an amazing team and world class benefits. We are transparent on what is working well and areas in which we want to improve in. I am sorry to hear you felt you could not be open with your ideas and opinions. That is not the environment we work hard to create. Always want to here direct and honest feedback. Kathy
