Pros

The people are so friendly and talented

Cons

This place went from amazing to a bomb that exploded within a short frame of time with a PE acquisition to our own offshore acquisition after laying off around 110 people not including contractors. The ceo and founder then left the company. We were told we were going to be sold for parts and that’s pretty much what’s happening. I think the company will sell itself again in 2 years and there will sadly be no more culture from now on. All of this after the CEO was clear for years he did not want to sell. Blew our minds when we saw rich white men pretending to care about our futures (PE) and to make things worse, the equity pay out was horrible.

Pros

Real career development. I've grown significantly over my tenure here, taking on increasing responsibility across a global scope. That kind of trajectory requires a culture that actually backs its people. Values-driven leadership. Integrity and excellence aren't just wall art here. Leadership consistently models the behavior it expects, which builds real trust across the org. The work is meaningful and complex. This is a company where you're solving hard problems with smart people. If you want to be challenged, you will be. The culture has staying power. Long tenure across the team is common, and it's not by accident. People stay because there's always a next challenge and a next level. Resilience through change. The company has navigated significant transitions while keeping its culture largely intact. That's not easy and speaks to the strength of the foundation.

Cons

Growth and change bring ambiguity. If you need a perfectly structured environment to thrive, that's worth knowing going in. If you lean into it, the upside is real.

Pros

The people are that “Movable Ink special," Genuinely kind, smart, driven people who really care about doing good work. Unlimited PTO is real, and managers actually respect it (within reason, obviously). Very family-friendly culture. I also feel strongly that the new CEO is the right person for the job — there’s finally a more focused vision and a real commitment to transparency across the org. Previous CEO was too pie in the sky, so this is a great change. You get to work with some very cool brands, and Think Summit is honestly one of the best customer events in the industry. The product vision and roadmap are ambitious and exciting.

Cons

The product roadmap is ambitious, but now it’s really about execution. There are some talented people in that organization, but from the top down that organization hasn't always proved they can execute on this level of ambition. New CEO is putting a ton of focus on fixing that so we'll see. There’s also been a good amount of turnover in Client Experience and Engineering recently, so the big question is how those organizations stabilize and respond moving forward.
