Spiceworks Ziff Davis reviews

Spiceworks had long been regarded as a top place to work. Now, it's like the company is broken. Senior management and executives never seem to know what we're working towards. There really isn't any concrete product vision that makes you feel like your job will be safe. They recently laid off 12% of the company due to a change in direction. Unfortunately, they are still trying to figure out what that direction is. Since the layoffs, I've yet to be in a meeting where everyone knew what we were working towards, and even what role they played. Most people here have no idea anymore what they are responsible for. Additionally, as others have mentioned, the comp is below average. The health insurance is average at best, and the 401k doesn't have matching.

Even though you work WITH great people, you'll likely end up working FOR some bad managers. There's a lot of managers that should stick to individual contributor roles. They simply don't have the training to properly manage and mentor a team. Executive management is a joke ever since Scott left. In just over a year, the culture has shifted dramatically. It used to be truly a great place to work, but management has gone increasingly less transparent lately. There is too much emphasis on revenue first, quality product last. They scaled up the sales team without making sure the product was good, both IT and Marketing.
