Pros

Work-from-home options and free lunches. Health insurance premiums are fully covered but the plan isn't that great compared to that offered by other local employers and sometimes it's cheaper to just pay out of pocket for services

Cons

My time at Spreedly was a frustrating one and I felt like management we're out of their depth making it difficult to do your job. Product strategy was non-existent and priorities changed so regularly that it was impossible to know what was going on and the all-hands numbers seemed like they were fudged to match whatever the current story was. Management also liked to deflect blame and point fingers which had a negative impact on the culture. Attrition had slowed by the time I left, but it was a definite problem as it wasn't just low-performers leaving. The company's explanation of departures vs the employees was often very different (I guess they assumed we don't talk to each other?) but I guess that's to be expected with sudden, not always voluntary departures. I see a bunch of positive reviews so perhaps things have improved since I left last year, but based on conversations I've had with people still there and the suspiciously OTT and similar language used in the reviews I don't think it has. If you're considering a job at Spreedly I would recommend reaching out to a range of current AND former employees on LinkedIn as it will help you get a clearer picture of what it is like to work there and allow you to make an informed decision rather than relying on reviews.

Pros

The executive leadership team has a solid vision. The company is working on some exciting new products and features. As a small company, there are plenty of things to do and learn outside your normal day to day. Fully remote, with awesome periodic company get togethers. Growth company with LOTS of potential. This is one of those places where the sky is the limit (a less optimistic person might say they give you enough rope to hang yourself with).

Cons

Fully remote - this isn't for everyone. It can be pretty isolating depending on your role. Spreedly has been through a lot over the years - and you can tell. There is change fatigue wearing on people. As a newer person, I dont feel it directly, but as someone who is trying to drive change, I feel it from others regularly. Compensation might be lower for some (example - no annual bonus program / consistent recurring equity program).

Pros

- Great product filling a need in the market. - Great front line sales and customer people people. - Visionary CEO

Cons

- Terrible people and operations team. - “Culture” is just a buzzword not a value. - Sales reps are grossly undercompensated as the romanization lacks experience and expertise on how to structure commission plans. - People operations team who are more focused on their own personal brands rather than the success and well being of their employees.
