Maven ResearchReviews of maven.co

1) Maven’s payment system is ridiculous. I made sure to be 5 minutes (plus) early for the consultation. We rapped up at the end of the hour and must have clocked off 1 minute early, so I was paid for 59 minutes. I don’t care about the money. It was totally disrespectful of my contributions and not in line with industry standards. 2) I’m semi-retired, teach and still work as a lawyer. Frequently I’m turned down for consulting opportunities because I check a box stating I don’t work full time. I wouldn’t have taken most of those consultations while working full time. Many of those opportunities are in areas where I’m an expert. Moreover, because of this happening multiple times, I frequently ignore Maven emails. 3) I don’t want electronic gift cards, so I consider your payment options ridiculous. Just send me a check of pay via Venmo without a deduction. 4) If you want me to watch a video or read detailed instructions, then pay for my time. As you can see from the Maven response, they aren’t interested in constructive criticism and are more interested in defending ridiculous policies. For example, they point to their ridiculous small print instead of fixing a ridiculous to the minute payment policy.

I spent 30 minutes answering qualifying questions for a 20-minute cybersecurity survey, only to be disqualified with no explanation. I feel like they got the data they wanted for free from the "qualifying" questions. It felt like a scam to me, and I won't be participating in any more of their studies. Update: After reading my review, Maven looked into my disqualification and reversed it. Since then, I've completed a couple of studies and been paid. Here's how the payment process works. After you complete a study, Maven reviews and approves your work. Once approved, you request your payment type, for example a gift card, and then wait for it to be processed. All told, it takes about 2-3 weeks from completing a study to receiving payment. By comparison, NewtonX approves payment immediately after a survey, and a virtual Visa card arrives within minutes. I appreciate that Maven responded to my review, and my opinion of them has improved slightly. They should put guidelines in place to prevent onerous qualifying questionnaires, and they shouldn't refuse payment after someone completes a survey. Whether or not they like the results, the work was done and should be paid for. And the payment turnaround is still too long.

As an advisor, they mislead you on the time itakes to complete surveys. I booked a phone interview with a client and it was cancelled just before the call. Time wasted and no compensation. And on top of it, it took me 4 months to get payment for previous work done. They said it was a technical issue. 4 months to resolve?? And I had to chase them down for it. Horrible communication. I will only use Guidepoint, GLG, AlphaSights, Third Bridge, and Dialectica. They are professionals. This organization is a joke. Even the portal is poorly designed and managed.

I have two outstanding balances and I am waiting for Maven to pay. One is for a referral and one is for a successfully completed consultation. My outreach to your team has gone unanswered and I show “no pending payments”.

Here is what they do imho. They send you a survey , wou fill out sometimes quite a bit of data and then they tell you that you don't qualify BUT they have already captured your data. Brilliant in a way , the old carrot on the stick , but quite duplicitous. So if you want to give your data away for free (I mean with the carrot being a payment) and then be told you don't qualify repeatedly then this is the place for you I read your response and I do not believe you

Positives: - Transparent profile and dashboard system. - Relatively generous with opportunities. Negatives: - Very, very slow payment system. A two week wait for answers to be accepted and then a further two weeks for payment. Why do I need to wait a month for what NewtonX does in seconds? - Increasing number of invalid opportunities after a significant amount of work has already been put in. It's not uncommon to spend 10-20 minutes on a survey before being ejected for being in the wrong demographic group. I will say it again, these questions need to be asked first. I should not be spending time answering technical questions and then ejected because I live in the wrong state. Or I use the wrong software.

This site actually use cheats.For example, the information in the introduction mentions low spreads. However, when trading 0.01 lots of gold, the spread is set at $1.10, sometimes even $1.40. For 0.50 lots, it’s $50. With such a large spread range, it’s impossible to trade scalp comfortably. I have reported this issue to customer support. Additionally, trading is restricted during news hours (like Red Folder news in ForexFactory)which was not specifically mentioned when purchasing the initial package. Encountering abnormal rules like these spreads and trading bans during news hours after taking the risk of purchasing a package makes it harder to achieve profit targets. It adds unnecessary stress, tension, and hinders proper analysis. I deliberately terminated my $20K account on this platform. I will not purchase anything from this firm again and advise others not to have high expectations from this platform. My choice will Fundednext. Good luck for everyone

I am not sure how I got invited to Maven.co, but at some point I created an account, didn't use it much and it was fine until recently when I got bombarded by emails from them. So as usual I was looking for the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email (where you click and get unsubscribed without logging in), but there is no such link. I opened their website and asked my question to the chat bot, but I got kicked out of the chat ("Your chat has ended") just after asking, without any meaningful reply...
