Pros

Overall I had a great experience at Maxwell, it's a culture embedded by young ambitious millennials. Your team and the people around you will be highly motivated to achieve goals. * Great place to accelerate career * Decent 401k match for a startup * Bonus incentive at the end of year (payout happens at end of Q1) * Open to using new solutions if it fits business goals * Flexible PTO * Communication driven organization

Cons

I worked in engineering, and you will burn yourself out if you struggle with time management. There are several unrealistic goals and deadlines placed on engineering, this has however improved. Many people commit themselves to 50-80 hr work weeks and management kindly turns a blind eye on this. Not providing enough supervision creates a culture of promoting burnout. Implementation Consultants and Services members seem to face the brunt of the immense workload. Investing in small in-house automation tooling would ease workload. Tough to get a break unless you have a team that promotes a healthy work life balance. Although there is a communal sense to go on more breaks. Ideally there would be a push from management or HR to go on more breaks.

Thank you for the review. You're right that here at Maxwell, we're surrounded by energetic and ambitious employees and it makes it a great place to work. I agree with you about burnout being a concern, and that is at the top of our radar. We have been working on actionable ways to ensure more balance for employees and will continue to do so. Kathy

Pros

I have grown a lot at Maxwell, and I like a place that helps me grow a lot. People are supportive of each other, and there is a lot of learning and internal promotions in my department. The product is getting better and better. I see huge improvements in the past year. There has been some cutting-edge stuff going on in there as the team gets passed some earlier problems. Management is transparent in what they are doing, and the monthly meetings with so many numbers given do help us all understand what is going on.

Cons

I came on this site because I heard that of some bad reviews on here. I am honestly surprised to see a number of these, and I see it as a con. Am I missing something? I do not see so much negativity in the people I talk with. I give the company five stars based on my experience, but there are some unhappy people at Maxwell, or who were laid off earlier this year. The layoffs were a painful time at the company, and Q4 can be tough on some groups in Maxwell given the seasonality of the business. I hope as the numbers keep looking better, and Q1 rolls around, things feel better for some of these people. Or that they find positions that they like better, because there are plenty of us here who enjoy Maxwell!

A place to be professionally challenged and grow

Pros

Maxwell Health is an organization that caters to the professional desires and aspirations of an individual who embraces the opportunity to work hard, solve problems and to overall make a major impact within the SAAS and Healthcare/Employee Benefits space. One of the predominant attributes Maxwell has is that there are different avenues employees at Maxwell can take (outside of their current skill set) and are actually encouraged to do so. Maxwell understands that employees can contribute so much more than what is demonstrated on their resume. Promotions occur on a regular basis which is a testament to the value Maxwell has for their employees.

Cons

Relatively speaking, Maxwell is a young company and with youth comes plenty of hurdles to overcome and lessons to be learned. On top of that Maxwell’s cornerstone product to the market is a web-based solution, so that automatically comes with areas that require constant tweaking. With each passing year, Maxwell is becoming more proactive with addressing the shifts in the market, taking client feedback and addressing the most critical needs of its clients.
