Pros

These coworkers are people you can be your true self with. They are smart and talented at what they do. The collaborative environment is inclusive and a joy to be a part off.

Cons

Management made poor money decisions which led to the layoff of 80% of the Austin office. The company is still in the process of defining itself and what it means to work there.

We're glad that you feel free to be your true self at Spreetail %E2%80%94 it's something we strive for and will continue to build into our culture.We also appreciate your feedback on better vetting our hiring decisions against our growth. We grew too quickly and in too many directions, and we're aware of our poor decisions and the impact they've had on the company and our team at large. We made an unfortunate error to grow quickly with too many competing priorities and will evaluate our approach and assessment better in the future.

Pros

They are good at hiring many different terrific people.

Cons

Same thing you've read before. Cult-like culture. Weaponized, encoded feedback. Gendered expectations—I was given "feedback" to shrink myself to fit in; would they have said the same thing to a guy? Best was when my lead encouraged me to submit an anonymous survey for "feedback" on my character and performance to my entire team. :/
