Miva Reviews

It is a bit far from where I live. Now let me talk about pay... The pay is not good at all. It is FAR below average for San Diego and I do not feel like the company values their employees very well. If you are looking for a place to start a career I probably would look somewhere else. The opportunities for promotions and growth for individuals are slim to none.

Interesting how all the first page reviews are all five stars, left on the same days, and seem to push all the negative reviews to the second page....what are you trying to hide Miva? This review is specifically for developer positions at Miva. I can't speak for the other departments and honestly they do look pretty happy, so good for them. However if you are a developer prepare to watch your career in dev dwindle away because Miva uses a proprietary language other real tech companies would laugh at. How do you expect to get up to Shopify or Magento's level using Mivascript? Do not expect to be paid anything close to what you're worth, but do expect to be overworked and harassed. Promotions are a joke, they will do a cost of living bump maybe each year (1-2%) but come up with every excuse under the sun on why you don't deserve to be paid any more than that. They try to sell you on a bonus structure to compensate for the dismal base pay, but no one hits close to the numbers that HR will tell you when they're trying to get you through the door. Expect to be reprimanded on a daily basis, worked like a dog to hit your billable hours, and micro managed consistently. Management is all internally promoted so no one has any real upper management experience, so the place is just a mess. Don't be fooled by the pretty office and the "perks" they offer. Sure you get free snacks but with the salary they're gonna offer you, you're going to need those. If you're a developer looking for somewhere to grow and learn, do not work here.
