Pros

Fully remote, great clients, casual and inclusive. Very tech savvy. Lots of passionate and dedicated talent.

Cons

Let me start by saying that I love what I do. I love my job, but SP has a lot to improve on. Lots of turbulence within the last year. Benefits plans have worsened consistently over the past few years. Pay is not competitive. Whole company is disorganized and frustratingly chaotic. You are a number, not a person. Culture used to be great, but now it’s a sham. It wasn’t always like this. It used to be an awesome place to work. Now it’s pretty dismal. I’m still holding onto hope that it will improve but not many are as positive as I am.

Pros

There are some good people and some amazing clients.

Cons

Where do I begin? The new CEO wants this to be a traditional agency due to her past experience. There are plenty of those though and she's watering down what made it special which that it *was* a performance marketing consultancy. She has hired several of her friends and it's now a joke amongst employees whenever an executive position opens because without a doubt, it will be...another one of her friends. Since the new CEO came on board, there was a major pause within the company's DEIB efforts. It's really too bad. Since the acquisition, the org has been a rotating door of talent. The company is quite literally bleeding good talent and doesn't listen to any feedback to stop it.

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate it, and do read every post we receive. These posts are reviewed and discussed with members of senior leadership, not just by HR. You mentioned the hiring of Liz's "friends". It is very typical that anytime a CEO or senior leader joins a company they bring in people they’ve worked with before. They do this for two reasons - one, they are trusted people who have been successful before, and two, it provides a recognition that these people would work for this leader again, a measure that we all want for our senior leaders. Often any leader that joins an organization and doesn’t bring people generally doesn’t believe in that organization or has issues in their leadership style that precludes them from doing just that. Again, thank you for the feedback. We have refined and believe in our value proposition in the market, and we look forward to 2023. We wish you well in all that is ahead for you.
