Pluspunten

Great product - market leader in contextual email Good office location Nice people working in London office

Minpunten

Micromanagement from US office Upper management in US/UK doesn't trust or support employees. Lack of cohesion within the sales team No feedback to upper management and unwillingness to listen to employees. Expectation that if it works in the US then it will work in the UK Confusing sales messaging - constantly changing - NOW with new product lines, they are stepping into a crowded environment within the personalisation space Very slow to make any change with marketing and HR - they have been looking for a partnership manager for over 12 months. Unnecessary long recruiting process. Zero support from HR - have management best interest at heart and not the employees Marketing has gone backwards

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. The employee experience is something we value greatly and are always trying to find new ways in making it a positive one for all our Inkers. We are sorry to hear that you felt there was a disconnect between the UK team and upper management. It is really important to us that our UK employees feel supported and that there is an avenue for them to share their feedback. We understand that face time is vital and therefore make an effort to fly at least one member of the executive team or senior leadership team to the UK office each month in order to ensure that they have an opportunity to meet in person and hear directly from our UK Inkers. Additionally, we fly in our UK sales team to the NY headquarters every quarter for company-wide quarterly sales updates. This offers employees the opportunity to share their experiences, ideas and concerns with their peers and all levels of management, including the CEO. We truly value our UK employees and are investing heavily in the growth of that region by hiring senior employees that understand the market. However, we are also going to make sure we only hire and retain the best talent. The people at Movable Ink have made the company what it is today, and they deserve to work with the best. We are working hard to find the UK office a truly awesome and dedicated Talent Specialist that can focus solely on hiring and servicing the needs of the employees out there and help with our global expansion.

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.

Minpunten

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.

Movable Ink has a phenomenal culture. The people are incredibly nice, helpful, and compassionate. While the changing tech landscape, PE acquisition, and layoffs have definitely chipped away at overall positivity, looking back on my time there, I feel lucky to have been in a supportive environment. You're never made to feel dumb / like you're not doing enough.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, on the flip side of the coin, I think too much handholding and a lack of self reflection on the part of leadership has led to the detriment of the wider team, especially when it comes to ramping new hires. There has been a lack of enablement and development across teams which drags everyone down. Those who do well come in with great foundations of value selling, they're not learning them at MI anymore.
