Pros

Unfortunately, I am unable to find any positive aspects of this organization.

Cons

Moburst has a toxic culture. There is a lack of structure, diversity, opportunities for growth, and effective leadership. The company does not treat its employees with respect, acknowledge their hard work or offer fair compensation. Salaries are significantly below industry standards. The CEO displays poor leadership skills, and the management team is ineffective. Additionally, some managers have a tendency to speak poorly of their employees and create a hostile work environment. Additionally, no employee engagement activities or benefits make it difficult to find fulfillment in the job.

Hi there, this is Gilad. It was important for me to personally respond to you, as I'm sorry to read that this is how you feel and would like to address these points brought up: * There is a very defined structure (if you're still working here you can take a look at our Org chart) yet, as we grow, the structure is changing and I think it makes sense that with more employees and services added - things will keep on changing. Each year we re-evaluate the structure with the management team to make sure we provide each team the opportunity to shine and grow professionally. * Diversity - as of today we have employees based in 8 different countries, and 11 different states in the US. Our European team alone has employees from 6 different countries. The age range starts from the early 20s and ends in the 50s. In our Israeli team, we have employees who are religious and employees who are not, we also have many new immigrants, and Israelis whose families have been here since the day that Israel was established. * Growth - From the top of my head without counting I have 8 team members in mind that have started here a year+ ago and have grown into managerial roles, leading teams and training the next generation. Just a month ago we've checked the average employee seniority at Moburst - it is 2 years which is forever in agency time where we grow by more than 50% year or year on average, which shows that people are staying at Moburst for a reason. * Leadership - I feel like there isn't any lack of leadership in the company, but it doesn't mean we don't make mistakes. I know I'm making hundreds of decisions every day, and some of them are wrong for sure. I do feel like the management team (myself included) is trying to investigate many aspects of the company each quarter and learn from the positive and negative experiences with employees, clients, and vendors so we would be able to continue on improving as an organization. I feel like taking responsibility and admitting failures and not just celebrating success is a huge part of it and it creates the right culture where it's okay to make mistakes as long as you learned from them. * Compensation - We open the salary for discussion around the yearly evaluations/ closing a year at the company. I am present in most of the discussions and truly believe that our team should be compensated according to seniority and growth. I would love to keep discussing it and learn from your case, you are more than welcome to reach out to me. If you feel more comfortable sending an anonymous email this is an option as well. I wish you all the best. Gilad

Pros

The main pro is the ability to work remotely

Cons

Moburst has every potential to be an amazing place to work, but unfortunately incompetent, selfish, and petty management hinders them from becoming that. Upper management is a disaster which is formed of a small group of people who only look out for each other (like a high school clique). Besides that, they lack organization, professionalism, values, and decency. They spend most of their time gossiping about other employees and they do not take responsibility for their mistakes, but rather look for someone else (below them) to blame. They never recognize employees for good work and only criticize and hold against you any tiny mistake. You can be the perfect employee, but make one small mistake and it will be forever held against you. HR and management do not listen to employee feedback at all and they do not care about employee retention. They see their employees as extremely replaceable so if you are looking for a long term career where you can grow and progress, Moburst is not the place for you. The only pro of this job is that you can work remotely, however, they will use that perk as an excuse not to give yearly raises or compensation.

Dear Employee, First, we are sorry to read about your experience. Moburst management and the HR team are doing their best to create a supportive and positive environment; therefore, we would like to encourage you to share your feedback with us in order for us to better understand your experience, learn from it and grow together. We would like to touch on the point you’ve brought up: - Care for employees - last year all of our employees joined round tables with the founders, and from this year onwards we’re holding them periodically on an ongoing basis; we don’t know if you’ve had a chance to participate in the current round that started on January yet, but a lot of things are coming up on that forum, and we take notes during the call in order to take actions and improve. We also have an “open door” policy; every Monday at 3 PM IL time, you can schedule a call with the founders and share your experience, pain points, ideas etc. - Gossiping - We would love to get some examples of that because this is a serious accusation. We are trying to maintain a positive work environment and culture - we would honestly like to hear more about it, as this is definitely an unwanted behavior that isn’t part of our culture. - Employee recognition and career growth opportunities - we are committed to recognizing and rewarding our employees for their hard work and dedication. We offer various avenues for professional development and soft skills development (our L&D program started recently). Moburst has employees who have been working for 5,6,7,8 years now and have made a tremendous impact and growth started as team members and grew into managerial roles, for example, our Group Account Director John: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/begilad_growth-remotework-teambuilding-activity-7161026688712081408-ZoNB?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop - Compensation and benefits - we understand the importance of fair compensation and are doing the yearly evaluations at the end of each year to discuss performance on both sides (the employee provides his feedback and gets feedback). The raises/bonuses depend on the employee and company performance as well - as in every other company in the market. We do believe that providing a remote first working environment (working 4 days/week from home in IL, and fully remote for ROW) is a major benefit these days, combined with the unlimited PTO policy that Moburst has had for 3 years now. Having said that, we appreciate your feedback and are committed to addressing your concerns and invite you to share more information about your experience in order for us to act, improve, and find solutions to your concerns.

Pros

I wish I could tell you one good thing about this organization but I can’t.

Cons

Moburst is absolutely toxic. There is no internal structure, diversity, growth, or leadership. They do not value their employees, recognize hard work, or compensate fairly. The CEO has a terrible personality and most of leadership do not know how to manage teams.

We are sorry to read that this is how you feel and would like to address these points brought up: - There is a very defined structure but as we grow, the structure is changing just like it would be in any other fast-growing company. - Regarding diversity, as of today we have employees based in 16 different countries. Many different ethnicities and age groups, our youngest employee is in his earliest 20s and the eldest is in his 50s. - Regarding growth, you are more than welcome to check the growth track of our employees on our website or on our employees’ LinkedIn. We have a lot of employees who were promoted to managerial roles, and some of them are even with us now for 5-7 years. - When discussing leadership, our management is investing a lot of time and effort to lead the industry and create internal leaders within our employees. A great example of that is the thought leadership activity we've made to encourage our employees to share their knowledge, get them to speak in international conferences, and share their insights in front of the top publications of their field. - Employee evaluation - we actually do evaluations twice a year and are more than happy to discuss terms, salary, benefits, etc. at the end of each year. We would love to keep discussing it and learn from your case as we believe in constant learning. We really do wish you all the best and our door is always open for feedback.
