Pros

All around, Spokeo has checked all the boxes for me, as a great place to work! My time here has been invaluable, and I look forward to many more years as a Spokeo team member. Spokeo is an inclusive and diverse environment that encourages career growth and development. The company culture is the best I have experienced at any job in my career. The Founders are straight-forward, and open about where we are as a company, where we want to go, and how we can best get there together. Company decisions are data-driven and methodical, which balances perfectly with the innovative long term vision for Spokeo.

Cons

Like any job, there will be some personalities that clash, but Spokeo is great about trying to mend or develop these relationships in productive ways. With all the good food (free lunch and snacks) I had to up my workout game to stay in shape.

Pros

* Technical challenges incl tackling tech debt. If one is a really skilled and can overhaul major pieces within/across SOA to truly streamline/improve the system in progressive increments, you should be able to get the attention of higher ups and rise accordingly and/or get promotions. * Biannual performance reviews giving one a chance to improve their base pay. * The company also pays attention to promotions. * Pretty good tech stack and hence exposure to technologies to learn and grow your professional career. E.g. Ruby on Rails, SOA, React, NodesJS, Typescript, Python (Data side and Devops), lots of AWS services incl Dynamo, Redshift, Aurora, Lambda, Cloudfront, S3, Kinesis/Firehouse etc, ELK, MySQL, Memcache, Redis, Apipie, Git, Google Tag Manager, RSpec, Jenkins, NewRelic, Airbrake, MessageQueues, custom crawlers, Google Analytics and so much more in fact. Best practices like code reviews, pre-merge checks etc. * Agile 2 week sprints * Good pace of work without burning out the employees. * Amazing co-workers, smart and fun. Everyone is supportive of each other, collaborative and the atmosphere is respectful. * Awesome benefits incl vacation, med/dental/vision, 401-K with match etc * Bonus * Great perks incl daily catered lunches, very cool snack bar, stocked fridges etc. Ping pong table, foosball table, pool table. * Amazing culture and activities incl company picnics, annual party etc * Amazing founders and being able to interact with them. Founders are in fact down to earth. Focused on building a great company. * Great equipment for professional work (good performance laptops, monitors, sit stand motorized desks etc) * Fun office incl themed rooms like Star Wars, Mario, Lego etc * Profitable company

Cons

Some projects are not managed optimally and the hope is these sorts of issues would be improved upon as the company matures even further.

1. Responsive and transparent management 2. Supportive and encouraging teammates 3. Nurturing environment 4. Free lunch and snacks

Cons

While the departments communicate well, Customer Care is on a different floor. From prior experience at other companies, teams work better in the same physical space.

Thank you very much for the feedback! We are so glad that you feel the support from the team and our management. We strive very hard to provide a supportive and nurturing work environment. We understand that some team members may find it difficult to communicate with other teams due to the physical location of the seating arrangements. Now that we are all working remotely due to Covid-19, we highly recommend you to make use of Slack and Zoom to reach out to other team members and stay in touch. In particular, please participate in the #culture channel on Slack where you can join other teammates on Virtual Coffee Breaks and after-hour chats. The Culture team has also set up a #culture-donut channel to pair up team members from different departments every 2 weeks. You will be randomly paired with another team member and have a chance to chat or connect online for a quick conversation. Hope you continue to enjoy your Spokeo life!
