New wave of leadership = new Spiceworks

Pros

Work/Life Balance is fantastic. Developers and marketing keep the culture that won all the great awards alive. High amount of investment to keep culture thriving. Taco Mondays. Bagel Fridays. Onsite yoga, workout, and basketball court. Not a lot you can complain about with the perks.

Cons

When Scott Abel stepped down from CEO there was a cultural shift, whether purposeful or not. Scott ensured that the entire company kept the priority of people first. Naturally, as the company grew and the need to pay back investors became a priority Jay shifted the focus to revenue. The sales culture, at times, was brutal. When the company wasn't thriving neither are the personalties of leadership. This is felt all the way down and can really make for some awkward and long days.

Pros

In college whenever I heard recruiters say "what I love about working at X place, is the people" I never really fully understood what they meant by that until I started working at Spiceworks. Literally everybody I have worked with is incredibly smart, kind and always willing to give you a hand whenever you need it. The people are truly the thing that makes this place so great to work at. Work doesn't seem like work here and that says a lot. Truly a one-of-a-kind company, I love it here.

Cons

The only thing that comes to mind is the terrible traffic commute to get to work everyday although that is not really Spiceworks' fault.

Pros

The work atmosphere in my department is very energetic and supportive.

Cons

There are some teams that are growing and changing now, so there may be some uncertainties around that, but overall this isn't/shouldn't be something to worry about. The company is maturing and this is just part of territory.
