CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- some of the best talented people around. can learn a lot - startup culture - free weekly lunch and team outings now and then

Cons

- Not the very best pay in industry - Work in weekends and off-hours is very common due to bad / un realistic project planning or customer issues - Management does not listens to employees. HR policies keep changing very often to suit company interest by compromising employee interest - Too much time wasted in mandatory meetings - Employees leave or get fired regularly . On average at least 2 persons get fired or leave each month. Indicates very poor job from hiring front and HR recruiter. - open cubicles. very annoying most of the times - no growth

Clear vision, great customers and prospects

Pros

The company goes out of its way to make remote employees feel part of the team. Our engineering teams (and the leadership of those teams) is world-class. This has propelled us in 18 months from "SparkPost .. who?" to "We're hearing a lot of good things about you". The exec team is very approachable, consistent and reasonable in what they ask the company to do. In my current role I get to wear both customer-facing and technical hats, which suits me just fine. Speaking of which, we have an amazing range of customers, with more coming onboard soon. Things are looking very positive right now.

Cons

No significant downsides in the culture, product, work approach, market segment or tools.
