Pros

Remote work options are great. Insurance coverage covers whole family 100% which is nice

Cons

Being a security focuses company you get to work on some interesting problems but the pace can feel pretty slow at times which is frustrating if you're looking for somewhere to really push yourself. Some of the junior engineering talent is very weak and a lot of time is wasted bringing them up to speed on basic concepts. The company has doubled down on its support of coding schools by backing Momentum but I'm not sure the results justify it. You can't voice concerns though as it's very much one of those look-aid things which are common at Spreedly. Our CTO and founder just quit/ got pushed out so we no longer have an equal voice a the executive level which is concerning as it leaves our non technical CEO effectively unchecked. The move caught many of us by surprise and didn't fill me with much confidence in the long term future of the company.

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.
