Free lunch every day (Irvine location) & well stocked snack station (in 8 reviews)
Cons
Growing rapidly so there are growing pains but the experience you gain is totally worth it (in 11 reviews)
Bad company culture, lots of commission restructuring, and a bad way of selling into new clients (in 3 reviews)

Pros
All of the leaders have a great amount of experience in their field. Head of Finance really is inversted in all departments' success and has a continuous improvement philosophy. Company is expanding and is greatly customer and employee focused.
Cons
There are no negative information at this point. Very enjoyable atmosphere. A fantastic company who cares. And extremely team oriented.
Advice to Management
Continue the excellent communication and open minded approach. You have a lot of customers and employees who are greatly inversted in a top-notch product.

It's got a nice culture overall. Using fairly modern technology stack with Rails et al on server side, node/react/webpack et al on front end.
Cons
You need to enjoy pairing. Legacy code can be a PITA (to be fair, realistically, this will be a con at many other places too). That said, there is some good investment in reducing technical debt. More ethnic diversity (again, I believe they're working on this)
Advice to Management
Even more investment in technical debt reduction vs. feature development

Strong Managment Team and a good solution for SMB.
Cons
CEO Micro Manages entire company. The "Pros" of a strong management team is challenged because they are hamstrung to run their own organizations without the CEO sabotaging their progress. They will thrive as an SMB company but that is their ceiling.

Pros
The company’s values are clearly articulated and the CEO's vision is crystal clear.

The management team is open and honest and everyone is treated fairly and equal.

This is a very competitive environment, only the strong survive.

Don't try to tackle too much at once. Focus on most important priorities rather than spread people thinly across a bunch of different assignments.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Mavenlink full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
If you enjoy working around the clock, this is a right fit. You will be promised the world to join, hang tight, the dream only lasts a few months.
Lunch is catered daily, good snacks, gym on campus.Cons
High turnover at every level, this includes entry level roles as well as executive level. The company is missing infrastructure. Expect no HR or CFO. Family members and significant others are welcome to work here too, even if it is a conflict of interest.
Advice to Management
Train your Managers and Directors. You have people leading large teams who have never managed people before. THAT is scary and main reason for the high turnover. The blind are leading the blind.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Mavenlink full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Free lunch. That is pretty much it. The compensation plan is set but the "figures" they are based on are up for management interpretation.
Cons
Managers that are trained in the job and not management. Nepotism and favoritism and all levels. Very fake company culture. If you don't play into the bro it up culture, you will be outcast or fired.
Advice to Management
Quit hiring friends & family. Don't promote friend, promote based on still set.

Pros
Fantastic company HQ in Orange County doing fantastic things in the professional services SaaS space. Amazing culture, product and people at the top and in the trenches in CA.
Cons
Boston 'expansion' sales team lacks adequate, balanced and like-minded sales manager(s) like that in CA and is so prevalent across the ranks at HQ in Irvine, CA.
Advice to Management
Keep the glass half-full perspective and hire innovative, forward thinking Sales Managers during expansion efforts. Don't settle on mediocre individuals to be the face of the company when 2000+ miles from home. Culture, vision and trust is imperative to reputation and company value.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Mavenlink full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Free lunch and that's about it.
Cons
Management, culture, training, unrealistic goals and the fact you have to pretend you care about the employees and product, even if you disagree with mandates. You are judged for everything from not working an extra out of overtime to who you associate with after work. Favoritism and nepotism is strong in this company, and will effect how you do business, earn money and the role you play with the company.
Advice to Management
Stop hiring your friends and family. Be more professional, hire qualified people, stop the boiler room sales culture and mind your own business.
