Culture + IT Pros first + hard work + rewards = Spiceworks

Account director, emea

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast growing IT Media Company that does things differently. Focus on values, innovative ways to service IT Pros' needs and creative when it comes to client solutions. The co-founders put emphasis on keeping the Spiceworks culture alive and not becoming your "average corporation". Very open in terms of communication, great team of talented people and a great outlook for the future.

Cons

Very high individual & team targets (in sales), so it's not for you if you don't want to work under pressure. Fast growth sometimes means structures have to be built quickly so you can't expect a 100% established workflow (I consider that a plus, some may struggle if they are used to a "this is how we've been doing it for 20 years" attitude).

Fantastic Media Sales Company to work for that is revolutionizing the way tech is bought

Business Outlook

Pros

Values, culture and team are often words that are thrown around as being important. Here this is actually true, and is embodied by most employees. Great compensation, really good work environment, everyone is on the same vibe. Employees are well looked after. Company is definitely going places in Europe.

Cons

A business for achievers, if you are not interesting in setting your mark and are happy to be a cog then this wouldn't be for you. Results orientated business with steep targets, so you have to be motivated and very driven.

Very dynamic work place, a lot of focus on the culture

Pros

In Spiceworks they put a lot of effort in maintaining their "human" fun culture. Evem as they are growing and leaving behind the startup scene, they put a lot of efforts in keep the whole company connected and a fun place. Here you are a name, not a number. In the first month I worked here, I was already given real responsibility, talked with clients, had in-person training with everyone in the HQ, talked several times with the CEO. I felt my opinions were listened and valued. Perhaps what I do love the most is that they truly want to help you in your career. If you want to get involved in new projects, vary your workload, switch to a different department. They are always open for discussion. And you get spoiled with freebies and food :)

Cons

I am working from the London office, so the team is small. We have to adjust to small daily issues: lack of meeting rooms, no IT guys, relying on the HQ for setting up a software or hardware.
