Pros

They had free food and pingpong

Cons

No amount of free food is worth the toxic, micromanaging culture they have.

Thank you for sharing your experience working at Spokeo. We’re sorry that you didn’t regard it as being more positive. That said, we welcome all feedback and are committed to making changes to ensure that all teammates can thrive in our environment. To the point about change, it has been almost 2 years since we’ve had staff in the Spokeo offices. We’ve shuttered the cupboards and the ping-pong table, and Nintendo has been super quiet. However, the good news is that we currently have a tentative office reopening date in January 2022. As a byproduct of the pandemic, we’ve also shifted to a flexible work location policy. For those that wish to come to the office (whether regularly or on occasion), there will be health and safety protocols in place, and they’ll be welcome to grab a ping-pong paddle and some snacks! We have also remodeled the place (with COVID realities in mind), more conference rooms, more space to relax or focus, and the list goes on... Spokeo has also implemented other changes: we’ve moved from simple performance goals to having OKRs that cascade throughout the organization. With a new tool to track and measure results across the various teams, we’re finding that OKRs are optimal for setting directions and allowing individuals and teams maximum flexibility to determine how best to achieve them. We hope everyone enjoys where they work, the people with whom they work, and are helping their organization’s culture be strong and inclusive. We think the changes we’ve implemented in the last few years will help us make significant strides in these areas.

Pros

Large companies are great experiences for learning best practices in your profession. Testing and applying them in a smaller (e.g. startup) is where you advance your understand of what you know and how to appropriately apply it. Spokeo provides that latter in addition to search engine culture (cross-functional, helpful, data-driven as well as scaling up rapidly on the e-commerce and big data fronts. On-site-only has evolved to be remote-with-permission (many places within US), performance reviews have moved to be more clarified with OKR and KPI. A Culture team that proactively encourages staff to meet each other individually and to build relationships across orgs in time of remote working and special events for team or company-wide building via video events.

Cons

Current things that are being worked on include new product development, building up a strong Product Management function as well as a general Marketing team (brand, product marketing, etc.). This will come with time - and, perhaps you could be part of the solution!
