Pros

Amazing coworkers who I now consider life long friends. Loved the environment and casual feel.

Cons

Favorites are definitely played within the sales department. If your book of accounts does not include companies with large budgets, then it becomes a tough sell.

Pros

The company has grown over the years, but the founders still want to hear from everyone. The company cares about the culture and it's employees. My career has progressed and Spiceworks typically promotes from within. In dev there are initiatives to fix what's broken & a week long competition "SpiceWars" where people get to build any product that helps the company. Folks really try to help each other out & share expertise. Dev organizes tech talks: Lunch & Learn, back-end & front-end dev meetings. Typically at least 2 a week. Recently we started a program where people can try out another team for a few weeks to again additional skills & get to work with new people. My manager really tries to help me out, and will answer any question I throw at him honestly. Super coworkers. Everyone is willing to lend a hand, answer questions & mentor employees. Spiceworks is full of intelligent people.

Cons

Growing a company is hard - but Spiceworks really tries to get everyone on board and moving forward.

Thanks for sharing your experience! You're right, we really do want to hear from everyone. As you point out, growing a company (especially at this scale) IS hard and through everyone's feedback we're working on doing just that -- together. Of course we can't always fix everything immediately but we'll get there over time. Now regarding the zip line, how cool would that be?!
