Mailchimp Reviews

Pros

Leadership has truly acknowledged that a culture reset is needed and is doing everything in their power to deliver on promises made to the people. The company is growing and learning from past mistakes, and become transparent in their promotions, pay, and performance. The benefits are excellent, and pto is very generous.

Cons

Processes and structure are lacking

Pros

You'll find underdog employees you love Bonuses Networking with talented people Annual Training Stipend If you're progressive you'll fit in 401K matching

Cons

Management is untouchable Interpersonal difficulties are never handled well, if at all Core issues are skirted around, never unearthed Not as "weird" as it was before... Size increase to blame?

Pros

They give you Macs and year end bonuses to make you stay.

Cons

It took an article in the Verge for senior leaders to finally wake up . Google it before you think of working here. The CEO still refuses to see that Eng D and I problems come from the top. I. E. The CTO. If you are a female engineer, good luck. The toxicity is pungent. If you are not in the CTOs group of friends, you are an outsider and you know it. Read the Verge article. The reporter only scratched the surface. Read the Twitter comments from prior employees. Look at the website. Where is the Exec team page now? They removed it because it showed all white men. I have PTSD from my time there and I know others who are suffering the same. It makes me sick that the CTO is still there while so many good people left because of how he treats people. He should have been fired years ago. Ben owes many people apologies. What happened when I notified HR of my own harassment and bullying? I got offered severance. They don’t know how to fix the problems because the CEO has blinders on especially about the CTO. The Sr VP of People came in and we were all hopeful that he could make changes but he can’t win against the toxic culture. Stay away. Just stay away, especially if you are female and a POC.

Pros

Great compensation, mostly great coworkers

Cons

Leadership are often under qualified and get promoted for the wrong reasons. Once they're in, they're immune to criticism and accountability. They can act petty and retaliatory. It's manager russian roulette. Mailchimp can't seem to figure out what it needs to do to reach the level of growth it once had. Your time there will consist of the company annually deciding that it has to try something totally new that isn't email in an attempt to win new customers. It hasn't really worked yet, and the company is no longer the go-to solution for anything.

Pros

The team I'm on is very tight-knit and has a great sense of humor. They are hard-working and love to succeed. Pay seems above normal for what I do and can't complain about the end of year bonus, the profit sharing, and the generous vacation time. Insurance premiums are paid 100% by the company.

Cons

Some folks have complained about a disconnect between senior leadership and ICs, which is somewhat accurate. Sometimes it feels like the most complex issues are given the least time, while the shiny/pretty/superficial issues are bludgeoned to death by committee.

Pros

Mailchimp is a great place to work if you go with the flow and don’t feel strongly about what you actually do for work. If you’re looking to just sit in a chair for 8 hours and get a paycheck, this is the place. Benefits Progressive company Cool factor in the industry

Cons

The constant reorgs at this place are insane. “Oh, you got hired to work as a product marketer? Well we’ve decided to move you over to a new team where your experience doesn’t matter. We also didn’t consult with you at all and gave you a weeks notice of this career altering shift.” Culture is strange here. Very much the place where everyone smiles and seems nice but will go behind your back or up the ladder to get their way and talk badly about anyone not in the room.
