Movable Ink reviews about "manager"

Compensation is low and raises are rare. The culture can be discouraging, and some management decisions feel inconsistent. In several cases, hard-working employees were let go while lower-cost workers were retained, and advancement sometimes appeared to rely more on personal connections with leadership than on demonstrated performance. My manager seemed to have joined largely due to a prior relationship with senior leadership, and in my experience struggled with the responsibilities of the role.

There have been absolutely no raises given to hard-working, committed employees. I was not given a raise for 2.5+ years, even though I consistently achieved or exceeded my sales quota. Like any other company, Movable Ink puts profits above people and, as a result, struggles to retain good talent. Legacy employees who've been with the company for 5+ years are stuck in their ways and given special preferential treatment by company leadership.

Manager is unsupportive Limited diversity Limited training drain on your mental health Took the fun out of email marketing Very technical Slow progression - added levels to the roles to make it seem like you are progressing but not really Very very poor worklife balance

Encountered terrible managers — unrealistic expectations, from workload to knowledge. Expect you to know things you have never been trained on all while managing excessive work that is impossible for anyone to complete during normal work hours. This Very toxic and cliquey culture. Pay is not great either!

None come to mind - Movable Ink has been very good to me the past 5 years :)

The product roadmap is ambitious, but now it’s really about execution. There are some talented people in that organization, but from the top down that organization hasn't always proved they can execute on this level of ambition. New CEO is putting a ton of focus on fixing that so we'll see. There’s also been a good amount of turnover in Client Experience and Engineering recently, so the big question is how those organizations stabilize and respond moving forward.

Below Senior Manager level, pay is low with minimal raises. The culture is cliquey, favoring white or white-passing individuals and conventionally attractive people. Long-time employees act entitled and mistreat others without consequences. Incompetent upper management stifles growth, prioritizing travel and pay bumps for themselves over investing in the team. Only the sales team is truly valued, and career progression is uncertain. Despite management's claims, the culture isn't as inclusive as they suggest, especially for people of color. The focus is on appearances and keeping up a facade rather than producing quality products and nurturing talent.

Since acquired by PE seeing lots of change in the future that seems to not move the company in a positive position from an employee perspective - Less support for clients - Low pay compared to industry averages - Extremely hard to advance - Product improvements needed to make experience better for clients The main reason I wouldn't recommend to a friend is closely related to the PE acquisition.

The company does not align with the image it portrayed during the interview process. While managers emphasize the importance of teamwork, employees often feel inadequate or like a burden when seeking clarification. There is an expectation to resolve issues without proper documentation, which is either outdated or completely absent. The role is not at all what was advertised. You are expected to take on additional tasks to help others earn their bonuses, yet there are no monetary incentives or rewards for your extra efforts. The salary is low, and the lack of financial recognition makes it hard to stay motivated or feel appreciated in this position. Diversity is clearly not a priority, and feeling like an outsider is common. The culture is highly siloed, strongly emphasizing tenure and whether you “fit the mold,” rather than fostering inclusivity or collaboration.
