Cool Product, Intense Culture

Pros

Product's impressive. Employees genuinely cares about the product offering and are passionate about the company. Lots of fun activities to participate in -- great for those who are younger without families or outside obligations. All in all, if you are young and want work to be your life and friend group, this place is a great place to start out.

Cons

Overly intense culture. Employees and managers regularly gossip and talk behind each others' backs. When mistakes are made or targets aren't hit, leaders and employees throw others under the bus rather than figure out the root cause of the issue. Much of the leadership team's inexperienced as leaders and in the areas they are overseeing. Revolving door of e-staff members leaving the company. Employees in certain department are aggressive. No work life balance. The medical insurance is now way more expensive and covers less.

Pros

- The product is above and beyond any of the competition and will continue to grow and out perform. - The engineering and product teams are magic and clearly well managed and innovative. - Growth is happening quickly and the company will continue that way with no competitors that come even close.

Cons

- Although a lot of women work at MI, more women in upper management would be nice. There were instances where the work done by a woman was undervalued and assumptions were made that good work was done by a male equal. - A very sales driven and 'bro-y' culture. A gong is hit in the office every time a deal is closed. - A lot of perks and culture initiatives that are meant to be a value add but end up feeling forced and that more important initiatives may be lacking. It would be nice to have a 401k instead of iced coffee and beer on tap. A lot of happy hours and days out felt mandatory. - Work life balance isn't great. It's not a 9-6 job. - When you read about or talk to MI team members, they will say the best thing is the awesome people they work with. It's true! There are really great and smart people at MI; however, there also seems to be a lot of gossip, cliques and forced smiles. A lot of the culture cons are just opinions and complaints personal preferences. I think the culture would be a better fit for a younger professional who can stay later because of less home/family commitments, who may value free office perks and opportunities for happy hours and socializing after work.

Pros

If you want opportunity, you got it. The best feeling at a job is knowing your hard work is recognized. There is never a feeling of reluctance to take on a new project because you know if you do it well it will be recognized. More importantly, it will be critically examined. New initiatives and ideas that contribute to the overall workflow and environment are not just given lip service, they're evaluated and incorporated into the company culture if deemed worthy. Everyone gets equal time to contribute ideas if they want to be a larger part of the org. The trajectory of the company definitely aggressive but the senior leadership is very committed and consists of great people. The sales and product orgs specifically are on another level. I learn more each day here than months at other tech companies.

Cons

This is a mature company that wants to stay in the startup mindset. Move fast, fail quickly, disrupt the market and bring real and relevant results to the forefront. This is not a 9-5 (not even a 9-6).
