Pros

The company seeks to hire not only the most talented and skilled, but also ensures that each employee is a good culture fit -- i.e, everybody is driven, passionate, caring, a self-starter, helpful, and human. There are no grumpy or aloof slackers here. In return for this, you are given a lot of trust and responsibility and camaraderie. Mavens values and supports ongoing learning and certifications, ensuring that you have every opportunity to be your best, most skilled self! I've felt nothing but supported and encouraged since I started, and never alone. Everybody at Mavens has lots of mobility and opportunities to advancement. The only limit will be yourself.

Cons

The available insurance plans are a bit lackluster. There are a decent number of choices, but the best plan isn't accepted by my doctors, and the remaining plans have high deductibles and copays.

Great description of a good culture fit, maybe we should include that in our job postings! And so glad you've felt supported and encouraged at Mavens; that's definitely our goal, particularly with everyone working remotely. Thanks for your review, and thanks for your honest feedback about the insurance options, will pass that on!

Pros

Flexible work life balance and an environment that fosters collaborative growth. Plenty of opportunity to learn new technologies. Excellent training and resources positioned to ensure all employees are well versed on the industry.

Cons

Not a con, less formal structure than other large organizations. This is something I actually enjoy having come from the latter.

Pros

Mavens is continuing to grow, both in clientele and employees, which means there's also some growing pains. This past year has been full of transitions, but we now have a better interviewing process and we have a better communicated brand. We're very focused on our developers and making sure everyone is Salesforce and Veeva certified, and knowledgeable about the life sciences industry.

Cons

We're simply not growing fast enough for the work load! Wish we could find more developers more quickly. Also, there isn't always a clear understanding of our business direction. Sure we want to "grow our business," but how? Things don't get shared depending on who you are within the company- so when change is happening, you don't always know why or what it means for you or our customers. Sometimes I think we move too fast for our own good. The culture has been changing in the last two years to. Things used to feel more collaborative- we used to say we're a "grown up company with a start up culture"- and that may still be true, but the company seems really disconnected and disjointed lately. Everyone is working in their silos and it's taking its toll. I wonder where the fun went and worry about some of our recent employee departures.
