Sphero reviews

- After a recent organizational restructure, there are absolutely no career paths available to employees outside of ousting their own boss. - Senior Management and C-Level staff are beginning to chase the dollar and care less about quality delivery and product - Too much attention paid to the bottom line, and too little attention paid to the overall engineering quality behind the products. - No real understanding of how to plan ahead for product development, and absolutely no attention paid to software development process and timeline. - Long hours spent by teams that are behind schedule are given more appreciation, than the teams that are organized, think ahead, and innovate to make the timeline more achievable - Deliverables and products are judged on their revenue potential rather than their quality or longevity to end-users - User retention is never a priority... as long as the money is spent on the "shiny new product", the executives are happy. - Executive management is focused on acquisition, but seemingly has no interest in developing IP or technology in which potential buyers would be interested

2016 brought upon Sphero new management, no longer open door concept with CEO/COO. The new CFO is running the show like it was his own backyard and no one seams to care or too scared to say anything. From a great company without so much office politics, Sphero become a place when people afraid to speak up and raise their concerns. Life work balance is slowly vanishing, if you are software developer expect long nights and weekends. It became very departmental culture, each department is isolated together and even though it is such a small company people don't know their coworker's name.
