Pros
Maxwell has some awesome employees (most of them are not in management). Benefits are paid in full, even for family coverage (if you are in Boston and take the HMO plan). Pay is on the above average side (but you will work you for it). My coworkers are all in their early 20's and have good relationships and fun outside of work. If you are looking to work at Maxwell, keep checking the website.. they will be hiring soon because people are looking to get out.
Cons
Work/Life balance is challenging. Just because my manager wants to work 24/7 doesn't mean that all of her employees want to. Emails are sent at all hours of the day and night by management. In a "reply all" atmosphere to show everyone what time you are working, that does nothing but add to stress levels and satisfaction. The SVP over my department is more focused on how she can prove her value than she is truly caring about her people. She cares about a few of her direct reports that do special things for her. The product is severely lacking. Promises were made in 2016 for enhancements. Only 1 of those rolled out, and it was buggy. I have to frequently tell my clients that what they want to implement is not supported. It puts our team (and account management) in a terrible position. We recently laid off 15-20 employees, and there were 20-25 employees that left in the previous 3-4 months that were not replaced. As other review have mentioned, the entire company was told a month earlier that we were safe financially. The CEO is very engaged with anyone who will be his puppet. I believe down he cares about people, just not the extent that he says he does. He cares about his bottom line. Management loves to preach about how transparent they are. Transparency is not lying to your employees... For this to be a tech company, its amazing that we cannot seem to get our own technology (like video conferencing) to work correctly. Meetings are constantly started late because no matter which software we use, we do not know how to use it. Speaking of meetings, they never start timely.
