Pros

Movable Ink has a great culture with lots of nice people. They're fully remote which is a huge bonus and everyone works very hard. As a CXM, you get exposure to some of the largest brands in the world, which gives you good experience in the sense that you can see how top notch companies do things while potentially building connections.

Cons

Client experience may be one of the worst jobs I've ever had. As a previous reviewer mentioned, during the interview process, they understate how technical they expect you to be in this role. You are put in the asinine position of holding the hands of your engineering peers. You're not allowed to go into the platform and build, instead you're expected to write these long, complicated tickets which always end up with a thousand follow up questions leaving you wondering why you even wasted your time to begin with. Additionally, you'll be given an unreasonable amount of clients relative to what they're paying you and you'll be expected to meet with them on a bi-weekly basis, while also sending emails, follow up emails, conducting presentations, waiting on them hand and foot when things break (and they will, they always do) which will leave you feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. Clients are largely unsympathetic and you really are left feeling worthless when it's all said and done. Occasionally, you'll have small victories like an upsell here or there, a shout in one of the slack channels, but it'll always be overshadowed by 2 more clients churning, emails not working as intended, etc. It's always 1 step forward and 2 steps back in this role. TLDR: The company is infected with hustle culture, and you know what they say, if everything is an emergency, nothing is.

- Movable has an amazing culture with great people. It's so much easier to collaborate cross functionally at a place like this when their are so many kind people in other functions that genuinely want to help you move forward. - Very flexible with WFH and remote work. Great benefits. - Strong ENT customer list with some of the biggest brands in the world - Love the attention to events and getting in front of prospects/clients - Rare to see an executive team as accessible and helpful as this one - Diverse culture amongst the team I'm on and the teams we interact with

Cons

- Can always use more enablement for career growth which seems to be a new focus this year - Clearer paths to promotion/raises

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.
