Pros

OTE and compensation is strong. Good name recognition in the market place and plenty of products and solutions to sell to tech marketers. Culture is still fairly good although working remote doesn't give me full insight into this. Management allows you the freedom to be yourself and do your job without micro-managing. Overall, working at Spiceworks has been a positive experience.

Cons

After several rounds of funding, seem to still be trying to "figure" it out. New senior sales leadership, recent round of layoffs and a significant adjustment to annual revenue projections says shaky future. With that said, there seem to be solid ideas and product dev for 2017. Not sure on account opportunities for new sales hires, saturated with greener sales reps.

Spiceworks Ziff Davis Response

I'm glad to hear it has been a positive experience! In regards to "figuring it out" let's remember few companies get to the scale we've achieved and getting to the next level usually takes some time. We're excited to be working through that challenge with a great team. The "recent round" occurred in June '16 and we communicated the reasons publicly on our blog and through several internal meetings. I appreciate your feedback on too many products. They're a result of our sales, product and marketing team's creativity and responsiveness to our client's needs over the years. That said, we are narrowing our set of products. Without getting into details here, we retired quite a few in Q4 and have more scheduled for '17. In addition, we've also winnowed down which products are available to which type of accounts. These changes were communicated at the end of November but it's possible we didn't get that news to everyone. Please be sure to continue this conversation with your sales leadership (or directly with product marketing).
