Maxus33 Reviews

Extremely flexible, caring, a lot of growth opportunities

I was hired a while before this largely unhappy post was posted, and I’m fairly certain I know the person who posted this. During my time with them, I found them to be extremely capable and very intelligent, they were incredibly helpful and supportive toward me, and appreciated my early contributions to the team when I was still a probationary employee. I am incredibly grateful for their help during the time we worked together, and still remember some of the lessons they shared with me. Fast forward from that point to now, having just read their post and the other shorter unhappy one, and I have a completely different perspective. This is the best place I have ever worked. I was hired here without prior experience in their specific stack, but I was tested in the language and tech they required. I showed that I was a competent programmer in any language that can learn both on my own and from others, and adapt easily to new tasks. From the very start, I’ve felt completely supported by both my manager and senior developers. If I needed time off, or help with a problem, I’ve never had to worry one bit, and always got enthusiastic help and flexibility. While I’ve been here at Maxus33, we have only grown and nobody has left. So I can’t speak for their situation because I wasn’t there for the vast majority of their employment, but I can understand how the process can be frustrating to some, especially if you don’t understand the purpose of each role. In every software company you have competing priorities represented by specific positions in the company whose role it is to push that specific priority, that way in the end you have a good balance of all the priorities being met. So you’ll have one conceptual position whose job it is to push for more productivity, barebones features, and shortest completion times possible, with another position/person balancing that out with pushing for high quality implementation and work/life balance, and protecting the developers from unrealistic deadlines, and yet another position/person pushing to ensure all the correct processes are being followed for development and that the features being built by developers align with the overall goals of the feature. I also thought that the wording on the health insurance section was funny when I was hired and talked with my boss about it to clarify so I never had an issue thinking I had some when I did not. As far as the owner being a crook, I don’t interact with them with any frequency or significance, but the company has done everything it’s ever said it was going to do, and management is amazing. So I would trust them to do whatever they say they will.
