Ship perhaps sinking... - Anonymous employee Spiceworks Ziff Davis Employee Review

Thanks for the time at Spiceworks and sorry it didn't work out. 2016 was a tough transition year for us but I'm proud of the changes we made and how well we've entered 2017, well positioned for a great future. I'm having a hard time understanding the view that sales is viewed 2nd class. I wish you had seen me to talk about that before you left. We've invested in the sales team and we're doing even more in 2017 with new leadership and great training. Regarding tension with dev and marketing, while that will nearly always happen to some degree in companies it is certainly something we don't want. I'm confident in 2017 that will improve as we've aligned the company to fewer and more clear priorities. Tensions usually arise when those aren't aligned.
