Pros

Working at Movable Ink is a wonderful experience, the people, the culture, the office and benefits are all top of the line. The platform is innovative and sells itself when you get it in front of the right people. The clientele consists of some of the largest enterprise brands in the world. There's tremendous growth potential if you put your head down and work and they provide you with all the tools you need to succeed here. 10/10 recommend. Unlimited PTO is real nice too :)

Cons

there's traffic on the subway sometimes in the mornings ;)

Pros

Great product - market leader in contextual email Good office location Nice people working in London office

Cons

Micromanagement from US office Upper management in US/UK doesn't trust or support employees. Lack of cohesion within the sales team No feedback to upper management and unwillingness to listen to employees. Expectation that if it works in the US then it will work in the UK Confusing sales messaging - constantly changing - NOW with new product lines, they are stepping into a crowded environment within the personalisation space Very slow to make any change with marketing and HR - they have been looking for a partnership manager for over 12 months. Unnecessary long recruiting process. Zero support from HR - have management best interest at heart and not the employees Marketing has gone backwards

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. The employee experience is something we value greatly and are always trying to find new ways in making it a positive one for all our Inkers. We are sorry to hear that you felt there was a disconnect between the UK team and upper management. It is really important to us that our UK employees feel supported and that there is an avenue for them to share their feedback. We understand that face time is vital and therefore make an effort to fly at least one member of the executive team or senior leadership team to the UK office each month in order to ensure that they have an opportunity to meet in person and hear directly from our UK Inkers. Additionally, we fly in our UK sales team to the NY headquarters every quarter for company-wide quarterly sales updates. This offers employees the opportunity to share their experiences, ideas and concerns with their peers and all levels of management, including the CEO. We truly value our UK employees and are investing heavily in the growth of that region by hiring senior employees that understand the market. However, we are also going to make sure we only hire and retain the best talent. The people at Movable Ink have made the company what it is today, and they deserve to work with the best. We are working hard to find the UK office a truly awesome and dedicated Talent Specialist that can focus solely on hiring and servicing the needs of the employees out there and help with our global expansion.

Making employees nervous

Pros

My day to day job and my clients are exactly what I want from a job. I am satisfied with the work I put out and excited that the campaigns I work on continue to get cooler.

Cons

The past 6-9 months have started making me (and I think some of my coworkers) nervous about the direction of the company. In the past I could trust that this was a company that valued the development of it's talent, but it seems like that may not be the case anymore. A lot of people that seemed to be doing a good job have either left on their own (pushed out?) or have been let go. It makes me start to wonder if having an opinion will get me in trouble. It would really be bad if we fell into the tech startup trap of protecting your director/vp/c level people who aren't always right or behaving well over the interest of the rest of the employees and company.
