Growing Company - Pros and Cons

Pros

Awesome environment - great office space, parties, unbelievable perks, food brought in for employees, retreats, amazing location. Inspiring CEO: is smart, progressive and entertaining; he has a strong vision and gives 1000%. Innovative product; the company's road map has potential for long-term success These are the smartest and most dedicated group of people I've ever worked with - I've learned a great deal from everyone. There are a handful of genuinely caring people who want to make a difference. This company pushes employees and expects the best. I've never worked these many hours and worked as hard - which in turn has helped me grow tremendously.

Cons

Long hours and in some cases, unrealistic expectations from management. I initially believed this company was different then traditional corporate. On the outside it is (the perks, unique work environment, funny website). However, once I got here, I was disappointed. It feels a little like smoke and mirrors. Here's the deal...I only share this so your eyes are open if you chose to work here. There are some awesome benefits - the best I've ever experienced. However, be aware of the following: - Training and job resources are decent. But once you begin your job, in general, you have to rely on coworkers to get up to speed. Many of those coworkers are also new and depending who you ask, you'll receive a different answer. Management still expects perfect results and quick turnaround times. -Inexperienced management. - Be careful who you trust. There's lots of smiling and excitement, but keep your guard up. - At times can feel like a cut throat environment.

It really saddens me to hear that you don't feel you can trust everyone here. That's fundamental to who we are and the key to our success. Maxwell should never feel cut-throat. We've taken on a giant problem in the American healthcare system, and we'll only accomplish what we need to as a cohesive team. Let's talk about ways we can address this issue, please, please come talk to me! In regards to training, some of this comes with the nature of a startup - we're inventing new technologies and processes every day, so there will always be room to improve. Our team members and our internal team wiki are front-line resources to share best practices and institutionalize processes. We do a lot already in terms of training, including coaching, mentoring, bringing in outside expertise, formal and informal courses (both for our own teams and the community), documentation of best practices, expert talks, etc, but we’re always looking to improve, and we need your feedback in order to do so! You should ALWAYS feel empowered to reach out to anyone on our team - our management especially - for a one-on-one meeting. There is nothing more important in my job than to make sure your voice is heard, and to that end, I've already scheduled meetings with every single person on our team starting next week. Take advantage of that time, and if you want to meet with me or anyone else sooner, all you have to do is ask. You should never feel like there will be consequences for voicing your concerns - this company is yours, and you have a responsibility to speak up if you disagree with a decision or you have an idea to help us improve. I mean that. -Kelsey Sullivan

Pros

There are few now, but there used to be many! The ability to work remote if you need to due to appointments is nice. "Unlimited PTO" Sounds awesome, but you can't take more than a single day during Q4 due to the nature of the business. You wont be told this up front though. The pay is good, but its not really worth it. The office looks cool (is that a pro?)

Cons

There used to be few, now there are many! There are quite a few clueless middle level managers who got there because of who they are tight with. If you give tickets to a manager to a ballgame, you WILL be promoted! CEO acts like he cares, but it is really only in front of people.. deep down, he cares about what you are doing for him.
