Pros

High and competitive salary. Fast grow. Fully remote (if you desire)

Cons

Toxic work place, immature behavior and communication. Lots of unnecessary drama due to high egos and lack of experience. The average of ages surrounds 25 years old, what suggests high rotation of people. If you want to succeed here, you need to sleep, breathe and eat Mews, 24/7. Not a place for growing and building a career. Its just not possible. If after reading this, you still wanna join, congratulations. You found your place. My suggestion. Hire more senior members, with experience, that know how to advice young colleges.

Hi there and thank you for sharing your review and experiences with the world. I'm truly sorry to read what kind of experience you've had at Mews. If there's one thing we do not allow at Mews, under any circumstance, it's toxic behaviour in the workplace. The fact that you experienced just that, is something we regret enormously. You mentioned there's lots of unnecessary drama due to ego's and a lack of experience, I'm sorry you feel this way too. As for our average age, I checked and it's 34 years old (november '22). With regards to having to sleep, breathe and eat Mews 24/7, if there's one thing we put a lot of effort and resources to, it's our work-life balance. You must have experienced this too, when you were employed at Mews. To mitigate the pressure that sometimes comes with working in a fast paced, rapidly scaling tech company like Mews, we offer unlimited paid holidays, Wellness Wednesday once a month, yoga classes and a whole suite of benefits and perks designed to improve the wellness and wellbeing of our employees. We feel that in fact, if there's a place to grow and build a career fast (like you mentioned yourself), Mews is that place. We like to think of our company as a meritocracy, where effort and achievement are valued and rewarded highest. Yes, we work hard but that comes with a lot of opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills. We have big ambitions but that never get in the way of giving feedback whenever you feel things can be improved. Our leadership team always has their (virtual) doors open to call or write directly, they genuinely care and all want to make this the greatest company to work at. Thank you again for your review and all the best in your future career. Matthijs / Employer Branding Manager

Pros

The best corporate experience I’ve ever had. People are easy to engage with, you’re always able to go to anyone in the business for questions or requests, and there is a lot of opportunity for immense visibility (in a good way!). It’s a rare experience to feel so critical, valued, and individualized in a company and I have felt that every day over the last year. Truly a wonderful company with some really great people.

Cons

Can be really fast paced at times, you have to be willing to be self sufficient and a good getter mentality to handle ambiguous circumstances at times. With time zone challenges, you also have to be adaptable and quick for certain requests.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve felt so valued, visible and able to make an impact over the past year. That’s the experience we want people to have at Mews. You’re right that our pace calls for proactivity and ownership, and working across time zones adds another layer of complexity to navigate. We’re glad that’s felt like a worthy trade-off.

Pros

there are awesome people that work at mews!

Cons

- tons of internally meetings every single day that take away from reps being able to do their job - lots of internal trainings as well - processes were constantly changing - high quotas that are impossible to hit so you will not see much $ in commission
