Pros
I've grown immensely as both a person and professional during my time at Spreetail. Spreetail dumps investment into its employees in the form of leadership opportunities, new challenges, stock appreciation rights, and fun things like the summer company trip. The leadership team does a great job of pointing talent in the right direction and then getting out of their way, which has given me the chance to take on challenges I didn't even know existed. I've also been able to find my own passion at Spreetail, wearing 3 or 4 different hats until I found the right one that fits my strengths and interests. I was given the freedom and even encouraged to spend time in other areas to ensure I was on my ideal career path.
Cons
Working at Spreetail is a sacrifice - we take big risks that add a lot of stress and work lean, requiring everyone to pitch in on the "grunt work". I certainly would like to spend more time at home with my family, but it takes time and effort to keep up at such a high-growth company.
