Pros
No workplace is perfect. Maven is a privately held startup experiencing significant growth as we approach our next phase. Any rapidly scaling company requires navigating the challenges that come with expansion, including strategic leadership additions and organizational evolution. It also requires the ability as a professional to adapt and pivot as needed. The "sales director" who claims Maven is a "dark place" has stated several inaccuracies in their review I want to address. Things are going well for Maven - our numbers and growth speak for itself. Our new COO joined recently with strong relevant experience and is making positive contributions as she ramps up. The majority of our sales team has either hit quota or is on track to do so. Speaking for myself and colleagues I work closely with, we find the team collaborative, supportive, and fun. We do not make bets on who is leaving first. Startup life isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. It requires adaptability and comfort with change. If you are looking for a steady, predictable, slow paced career without metrics tied to your performance, the USPS would be a great option. But if you are seeking a mission-driven company with a leading product and are willing to put in the effort for a challenging and rewarding step in your career, you will find that at Maven.
Cons
mentioned above - all of the growing pains that will come with a high growth start up.
