Movable Ink reviews about "upper management"

• Small startup company. • A Serious red flag is truncated communication: managers specifically tell you not to ask your co-workers anything by chat, including making a call. • Public criticism of employees is allowed: your boss may call out your mistakes in front of everyone else as a form of public shaming or as a reflection of their own insecurities as "leaders" • Expect your co-workers to be disconnected from meetings or several times a day with no reason at all. • Do not expect a healthy work-life balance, their idea of mental health is to give you a cheap $1.99 app from the Appstore. • There is an uncontrolled time off policy, which some co-workers will abuse without management doing anything because "they’re flexible" • Leadership is poor and very inexperienced. • There is little to no employee engagement. • There is no room for making mistakes or else • Very limited opportunities for career advancement. • Upper management talks a lot about churn rate, so I guess the business outlook isn’t really that good? • They give you very basic training, and then you're on your own.

- Although a lot of women work at MI, more women in upper management would be nice. There were instances where the work done by a woman was undervalued and assumptions were made that good work was done by a male equal. - A very sales driven and 'bro-y' culture. A gong is hit in the office every time a deal is closed. - A lot of perks and culture initiatives that are meant to be a value add but end up feeling forced and that more important initiatives may be lacking. It would be nice to have a 401k instead of iced coffee and beer on tap. A lot of happy hours and days out felt mandatory. - Work life balance isn't great. It's not a 9-6 job. - When you read about or talk to MI team members, they will say the best thing is the awesome people they work with. It's true! There are really great and smart people at MI; however, there also seems to be a lot of gossip, cliques and forced smiles. A lot of the culture cons are just opinions and complaints personal preferences. I think the culture would be a better fit for a younger professional who can stay later because of less home/family commitments, who may value free office perks and opportunities for happy hours and socializing after work.

We recently surpassed 150 employees which is a significant number for any company. We are changing rapidly and the culture isn't the same as it was when i started (at 70 employees). We're in a larger, more corporate space so the office feels less like a startup

Very poor upper management. Out of touch with employees.

-upper sales management have been at the company for a long time and are stuck in their ways. -lied about their reps quota attainment (very few reps are above 50% to quota) -Pricing is too high, specifically the commercial market minimum is too high relative to other competitors and prospects usage rates in this segment -The Movable Ink product is NOT a must have! The product is a nice to have, which makes selling an uphill battle -Major investments have been made in AI... commercial team is NOT allowed to sell AI and it feels like commercial is put on the back burner (makes sense as the segment is not bringing in revenue)

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.

Micromanagement from US office Upper management in US/UK doesn't trust or support employees. Lack of cohesion within the sales team No feedback to upper management and unwillingness to listen to employees. Expectation that if it works in the US then it will work in the UK Confusing sales messaging - constantly changing - NOW with new product lines, they are stepping into a crowded environment within the personalisation space Very slow to make any change with marketing and HR - they have been looking for a partnership manager for over 12 months. Unnecessary long recruiting process. Zero support from HR - have management best interest at heart and not the employees Marketing has gone backwards
