Pros

- The unlimited PTO is accepted, and you don't have to feel guilty. - Culture, if you take it with a grain of salt, is pretty good. Don't get soaked up into their mantras too much, and protect your time, but Spreetail does try to create a community. They just sell it too hard sometimes, and forget the other stuff that makes employees happy like fair compensation. - Managers are kind, but not the most skilled.

Cons

- Leaders aren't held accountable to their promises - Greedy, expanding over taking care of their employees - Management kind of recycle material, and aren't very visionary. Directors, especially seem to just be floating by and not really taking a strong charge on any one particular thing. I really wish they had some visionaries in this company because there are nice people here just needs stronger leadership. - CTO isn't really a CTO. Knows a few financial terms, but seems far too inexperienced and doesn't have enough engineering guidance. - Lots of managers will tell you that they coded or did engineering a long time ago, but those stories seem pretty irrelevant and seem to be used to gain respect from engineers. Speaking as an engineer, I think we just like to see someone who actually in present time knows how engineering works.

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. :/
