Pros

The people you work with are fantastic. They really do a great job of hiring great people. I've never had a problem working with anyone here, regardless of their department or role. There is plenty of free food, a beautiful office and plenty of office activities.

Cons

Spiceworks had long been regarded as a top place to work. Now, it's like the company is broken. Senior management and executives never seem to know what we're working towards. There really isn't any concrete product vision that makes you feel like your job will be safe. They recently laid off 12% of the company due to a change in direction. Unfortunately, they are still trying to figure out what that direction is. Since the layoffs, I've yet to be in a meeting where everyone knew what we were working towards, and even what role they played. Most people here have no idea anymore what they are responsible for. Additionally, as others have mentioned, the comp is below average. The health insurance is average at best, and the 401k doesn't have matching.
