Pros

* The mission of supporting women and family health is as good as it gets * Tech salaries were a bit above market and other benefits were pretty good

Cons

Speaking from the perspective of engineering, leadership is an absolute joke. SVP of Eng. is one of the most uninspiring "leaders" that I have every encountered. He hired a bunch of directors to sit between him and the eng. managers. They are largely ineffective in whatever it is they are supposed to do and do not understand the foundational problems in the existing technology (of which there are many). The engineering org grew quite a bit in terms of headcount during 2023 and some of those engineers had very 'tech bro' tendencies and attitudes which absolutely shattered the culture. Value placed more on delivery than fostering an environment of collaboration. If you are looking for an engineering job you have been warned, Maven will make you consider leaving the industry because its about as bad as I have ever seen.

Pros

I joined Maven in September because the mission resonated, and the work genuinely lives up to it. The impact on members isn't marketing language. It's the actual product of what people here do every day. A few things that have stood out: - I've already been promoted, which says a lot about how the company recognizes contribution and growth. - I have real autonomy to own my work and move things forward without being bottlenecked. - The culture is collaborative in a way that's rare, and people across the org have been generous with their time and support. If you care about doing meaningful work and want to be somewhere that bets on you early, Maven is worth a serious look.

Cons

Fast paced environment, but that's expected (and honestly part of the appeal) for a company in this stage of growth.

Pros

Met some coworkers turned life long friends

Cons

This place destroyed my mental health. Management does not care about you, they only care about the numbers on the paper.
