What do you like best about the leadership team?
Their approachability allows for genuine feedback opportunities
They see to it that you are acknowledged and heard.
The leadership team provides clear transparency across the entire team wherein they would inform you of the things you need to improve on and the things that are working for you. They also provide day to day updates of processes and changes.

I am continually impressed by their ability to navigate challenges with resilience, make informed decisions, and create an environment that encourages professional growth and collaboration.
Review from Customer Success Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Transparency and actual business management
Open communication and running a software business.
Caring about people, listening to employees, allowing anonymous feedback, hiring people-focused leaders with a depth of experience, and product knowledge

Understanding that not everybody in the company sees the world the way they do, and that is ok.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The company is very generous.
The benefits and the entire compensation
Review from Customer Support Dept
It's fair for a part time.
The allowances and the government benefits.
My basic salary and my other benefits
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am currently underpaid for my current role compared to industry standards. I am hopeful that this will be rectified when the economic climate stabilises.
They have new management that is trying to have the original same original ethics but they no longer exist.
Stock options would be nice as well as more wellness benefits + a bigger internet stipend and work from home setup stipend. No unlimited PTO like a lot of startups.
Review from Sales Dept
I think I am paid a fair salary, but I would like more/better options for healthcare coverage/expenses, more retirement savings options, or the ability to purchase company stock at a discounted rate.
Don't think I am paid at the same level as a male doing the same job. Benefits are lacking and need to be addressed but there is little appetite to change this.

Review from Customer Success Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They are dishonest about everything. Hiring toxic managers and hiding massive layoffs.
The morale is the worst it's ever been. The secret layoffs and redundancies of employees that were here at the beginning of time. The lack of transparency in how they are handling things and the off boarding process is terrible and unorganized. No one really knows what they are doing.
Bring in a professional CEO

Mavenlink needs to deliver on things that are said. There seems to always be great things "planned" and "coming", but nothing happens

Private equity gutting the company

Slow support responses since we had no training.
