A Cozy Place to Work - Recensione dipendente - Senior Web Developer presso MVP Marketing + Design

MVP gives consistent recognition to employees through opportunities to expand and grow their skill sets. Designers expand to different mediums, developers experiment with new technologies, and project managers perfect processes through trial and error. The company always feels as if it is growing the right direction through the employees. There is an overwhelming connection between talented developers and designers at MVP. We work in tandem and find a client’s best solution together. Other firms feel the need to separate and contain processes from members the two teams; this unfortunately does not work. All employees at MVP are willing to share their expertise with one another. MVP is constantly growing and changing for the better. The methods and processes used are never locked down. MVP defines what works, what doesn’t, and moves forward with that knowledge. Every year MVP makes things easier for itself as a company, as well as its clients.

Unfortunately, due to its size, MVP’s work atmosphere can be brought down by a few bad employees. It’s important to understand what is causing the bad employees’ negative actions or emotions and how to best deal with them. Benefits could be better, but they are good for the size of company MVP is. I came from a company providing very limited benefits (roughly the same size as MVP). Any benefits MVP has provided has been treated with generosity. Currently MVP provides health insurance, partial dental insurance, long and short term disability insurance, life, insurance, sick leave, and PTO.

Agency has grown from a small print shop to a more diverse print/branding/web company over the years due to the talent that's attracted. This also makes it a very open and welcoming environment that produces great work when everyone is allowed to focus. Team members are skilled and experienced, and opinions and perspectives are shared openly and respected. Management and ownership are incredibly flexible with hours and work arrangements so as long as there is a long track record of performance.

Constant snags occur in internal processes due to overthinking simple problems. Often times resulting in better work, but sometimes hindering timetables and internal production pipeline dramatically. Lack of vertical structure across some teams minimizes opportunities for mentoring. Great if the entire team is self-motivated and at least a little competitive, not so great if someone needs direction.
