Review from Engineering Dept
Understanding that not everybody in the company sees the world the way they do, and that is ok.
Review from Engineering 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 do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They need to complain as well because we are all under performing and nobody is talking.
Provide agendas beforehand and stick to them, focus on discussion in meetings and not presentation, cancel or make the weekly company call optional it’s is currently completely invaluab
Review from Engineering 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
Review from Engineering Dept
Mavenlink needs to deliver on things that are said. There seems to always be great things "planned" and "coming", but nothing happens
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Make it shorter. If a candidate has to be interviewed by many people consider a panel interview, or at least two interviewers each time.
Review from Marketing Dept
Make it simpler and reduce the number of interviews and wait times.
Be transparent to candidates about opportunities here.
fewer interviews, make them more impactful
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Private equity gutting the company
Management is terrible, no real leaders
The product can sometimes be difficult to use or understand, leading to customer frustration. However, we can improve the user interface and user experience of the product to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, we should solicit and incorporate more customer feedback.
Slow support responses since we had no training.
Lack of innovation and vision
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Salary, benefits, equity, 401k matching. All of these are lacking. They offer horrible pay and mediocre benefits.
Review from Sales Dept
I'd like to expand our internship and new grad program.
