Pros

Movable Ink hired me when I was 9 months pregnant and about to go on leave, which I think already says a lot about a company. They were extremely gracious and flexible about weird starting circumstances and have handled every interaction since the same way (ex: gaps in childcare, new manager, lockdown, health issues) I'm a few months in now and I can't believe how collaborative, helpful, and nice everyone is. This is particularly surprising and refreshing in a sales org. People have really gone out of their way to make me and the rest of our little remote team feel welcomed, supported, and looped in. I was very nervous about starting a new job after maternity leave and in a remote country where I wouldn't be able to meet anyone, but I'm so happy I did. It's really fun to be on a winning team that's breaking quarterly records, but it's even better to be on a team full of such warm and kind people. Movable Ink takes their company culture very seriously (not just something they say to get onto best-places-to-work lists) and it shows by how happy people are to work here.

Cons

There's a lot to learn about the product & landscape, so the ramp period might be slower than other companies. It's taking me a while to get my head around everything. The interview process is kind of gruelling, but it is nice knowing you're working with other people who have been held to a high standard.

Used to be great, Leadership is Toxic

Pros

Great pay once you rise above entry level, snacks, day-to-day teams are a close-knit trauma-bonded family, great original product (not the acquired one)

Cons

Especially sales leadership truly enables and protects toxic bro frat hustle culture mentality. Over-drinking at company AND CLIENT events, unprofessional employee behavior in-front of and with clients and when incidents are reported to HR, the reporters are pushed out (sometimes immediately). Most female employees fear retaliation for speaking up. But leadership sweeps it under the rug and protects problematic people that drink too much and cross a line (multiple times) if you close big deals. Sales team was not a friendly environment to females. Ultimately reached a point where I was so demotivated not seeing any action taken against very problematic employees (yes multiple) that I no longer cared about my role or the company’s success despite loving my day-to-day team and the original core product.

Pros

Like everywhere you will meet some genuine people (some not so much). Solid benefits. Solid work experience. Remote! Snacks in office. A place to give you a roof over your head and allow you to pay your bills.

Cons

Below Senior Manager level, pay is low with minimal raises. The culture is cliquey, favoring white or white-passing individuals and conventionally attractive people. Long-time employees act entitled and mistreat others without consequences. Incompetent upper management stifles growth, prioritizing travel and pay bumps for themselves over investing in the team. Only the sales team is truly valued, and career progression is uncertain. Despite management's claims, the culture isn't as inclusive as they suggest, especially for people of color. The focus is on appearances and keeping up a facade rather than producing quality products and nurturing talent.
