Mailchimp Reviews

Pros

MailChimp earnestly cared about its employees. They invested so much time and resources into the growth of its employees. It was a fun place to work. Management was accessible, open, and willing to listen.

Advice to Management

Always stay open to feedback and remain humble.

Pros

Very positive culture, growing fast but doing a good job at it

Pros

Deciding to work for MailChimp was one of the best major life decisions I've made. I was hired as a technical support agent. In that time, I was challenged and pushed to my limits, and I learned SO much. I developed an abundance of technical skills and knowledge, I became an excellent problem-solver, and my written communication skills improved. Not only that, but I also learned a lot about myself (sounds cheesy, I know.) The role was so incredibly varied that I quickly figured out what I liked and didn't like about it, and used that knowledge to figure out where I wanted to go from there. I worked hard to excel in my role, and eventually I applied for and received a promotion to do a different job that I enjoyed even more.
That job was also challenging, but in entirely new ways, was incredibly rewarding, and solidified my idea of where I want my career to go.
Throughout my time at MailChimp, I was always surrounded by supportive, kind people. I think that's the best part about MailChimp, even better than the generous benefits and competitive pay, the opportunities for growth & personal development, the snacks, etc.... The people are just great, and the culture allows for you to feel comfortable getting to know just about anyone, and that makes it tough to be unhappy :)

Advice to Management

While I was there, I saw big improvements in top-down and cross-departmental communication. Continue to focus on that, since as the company continues to grow and spread across multiple locations, communication will likely continue to be a struggle.

Pros

Pros:

- My wife and I both work and have a young boy to take care of. I LOVE that I work for a company that respects that. Flexible scheduling and telecommuting options have helped my wife and I respond to emergencies, game-day traffic, and winter weather.
- Co-workers are friendly with each other, and I have developed great relationships with my fellow chimpers.
- My co-workers are actually excited about the work they are doing, and it's contagious!
- The leadership at MailChimp takes time to breath. In my early days here we paused business to have an open forum discussion with all employees about a national tragedy. 2 hours of paused productivity just to let their employees blow off steam. This is nothing I have ever experienced before.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

It’s a lot of things I can say about this company. One thing in particular is that I miss my co-workers. Some of the most interesting, intelligent and beautiful souls are employed here. Get to know your coworkers as they can be a lifeline.

Pros

Great people, great work environment, they take really good care of us

Pros

The C-level guys are still down to Earth and genuinely care about their employees & it shows.

Advice to Management

Keep listening hard <3

Pros

Amazing benefits, 401k options, work from home flexibility, and a great company culture.

Advice to Management

I would love to see more completely remote options available.

Pros

Casual culture with a very comfortable work space. Good pay and lots of small benefits; stocked snacks, office parties/events, tons of swag, etc.

Advice to Management

Take a look in the mirror and understand that while the company is great it's no longer the spunky start-up it once was. Transparency with employees will be required to not become just another employment mill at the lower levels.

Pros

Really talented group of people. Great benefits and great product. If feels good to work for a company that's making something that benefits others. They also support a lot of local organizations and are proud to be from Atlanta (even though they just opened offices in Brooklyn and SF)

Advice to Management

listen hard!!
