Maxwell Reviews

If you think the "core values" of Maxwell mean anything (ROCKS - Rigor, Ownership, Curiosity, Kindness, Straight-up), then you are in for a full ride of disappointment. Corporate bureaucracy is just as prevalent here as any other standard 9-5 office job. There is nothing progressive about the leadership of Maxwell. Every month you get to waste an hour of your life sitting in a meeting while over-paid and inexperienced executives showing you a line on a graph and explaining how it's "good". Then, a week later you'll notice 10 random employees are now "deactivated". The company does not give out raises, but they are constantly hiring for $200k+ "Senior VP" positions. I'll be surprised if the company is still around in 5 years. Employees are treated like they don't matter, management is bloated, over paid, and no one even knows what half of them do. Old management was useless and got replaced by lifeless robots who just want you to work harder and faster. No one I knew was happy here and was always looking for a new job. Don't give this company an ounce of your time, they are disrespectful, deceiving, and undeserving of valuable employees.

Can't say I recommend this Company, nor the Diligence Division any more than the other negative reviews which appear here. In the 7 months of my constantly stressful ( -see excellent review on the "Blood Pressure Cuff @ the desk") affiliation with this foundering Company; 3 different levels of Diligence Division management were let go: -so deep goes the institutional 'rot'. Overall the Company does not live up to its core values (R.O.C.k.S.). One Glass-door reviewer mentions an '...elitist/clique' -like atmosphere and I concur with that observation. This Division was established in August of 2021 and it showed: no training documents, no job aides, no job related documentation at all to speak of. If you have a Diligence back-ground, this is not the company for you. What they refer to as 'diligence', really amounts to post-close, re-underwriting; & that is where the majority of the Department staff hail from: front line under-writing, not diligence. The production/review process is only made longer and more odious by the 3rd party diligence program they use (-some L.M., anyone?). All you have for guidance was multiple lender g/l's in outdated .pdf files. Communication in this Department (Dil.-Credit) is dreadful with little to no communication procedurally and bad/ineffective communication from Production and especially Q.C. teams operationally. During a round of lay-offs last November, meeting e-mails and the calendar 'subjects' were duplicitously labeled as 'Status check in'. Needless to say, you can imagine the astonishment of the participants to those calls after seeing such a misnomer of subject. The in-experience of the team leads only results in the permeation of a hostile and combative atmosphere between Credit & Diligence -Team staff and Q.C'ers: most of whom have '0' experience in diligence before last August. With the exception of a scant few, they were all front line U.W'ers with little if any experience in diligence. In conclusion, I cant say that anyone should treat working here as anything more than a temporary job and not to expect it should last that long. Finally, go into it with your eyes open, with the knowledge and acceptance that regardless of what Management says; in the end they will not uphold the philosophy(-ies) so often espoused.
