Pros

Product was once exciting and fun to use and had a good market niche Friendly family kind of atmosphere with the good coworkers, kitchen w/ free snacks and drinks, video games and ping pong in office

Cons

No one has faith in management, which has caused mass exoduses and we are still losing people left and right. Morale bad and people openly grumbling about executives and VPs. Platform engineering team all left and they couldn't hire anyone so they offshored core product, which the rest of us have to use. People still here that I talk with are mostly talking about leaving (or leaving). Company's best days are over and the product niche doesn't really exist anymore but management is spinning yarns about how everything's rosy

Thank you for your review. We do have products that are exciting, both our first product, Adapt, and our new products Optimize and MoovCheckout. Since you wrote this review we have moved into a new office space and it makes the atmosphere even better, but I agree, we do have a great atmosphere. With regards to your cons, in April we made some key additions to the management team and I believe the management team we have in place now is the strongest ever and will put us in the best position for the future. Our client base is extremely valuable and important to us and our Adapt line of business is strong. We derive a substantial amount of profit from Adapt, so much so that we can invest significantly in the development of new products and markets while still being cash flow positive. I take your feedback to heart as it is clear I have not done a good enough job of communicating the strength of our Company overall and Adapt in particular. I plan to do so in detail at our next Company all-hands meeting.

Pros

Super smart people, great product, lots of growth potential. The culture is very friendly and supportive, lots of opportunities to contribute and develop.

Cons

No major cons - just a less structure than in larger organizations, with the good and the bad that comes with it. Definitely a place where you are expected be as autonomous as possible.

Pros

Moovweb is incredibly empowering as a company. They have a ton of amazing client relationships (300+ brands) and the founders give employees free reign to deliver value to those clients as they see fit. As a product leader this is one of the most exciting opportunities I've ever had. The market has clear needs, the company has relationships with all the folks I need to talk to - and I'm left to discover and build what will deliver the most value to them. I also very much enjoy the founder's level of expertise and vision in the ecommerce space. We have a very strong tiered strategy with current industry leading products, emerging products, and over the horizon bets. This is very rare for a mid-size company to be able to executive effectively on. Last, but certainly not least, the team is strong - folks push hard to get to the right answer on issues that no one else in our industry has solved. The founders have done a great job in attracting people who like solving universally unsolved problems. The people are also fun - I regularly enjoy having co-workers over to my house or going to events together. I genuinely look forward to seeing my team every day.

Cons

There is a distinct lack of structure and process at Moovweb. The company is in a constant state of growth where our systems are a step behind the reality of our size. It can be good in that there is basically no bureaucracy/politics, but you're definitely on your own to navigate all the prices of the organization.
