Pros

1. Free snacks and daily lunches. 2. Low-key work environment

Cons

1. Poor managerial framework for decision making. The Managment does not have a lot of credibility amongst the developers, project managers, etc. 2.3. It is a low-key passive-aggressive environment. Don't expect SR. management to say what they mean and mean what they say. 3. A whole lot of meetings- that are complete time sucks and it is not uncommon for a 2-hour meeting to result in nothing but another meeting scheduled in order to have another try at making progress.

Real Life Game of Thrones

Pros

Free food and snacks. If you stay a lowly peon and out of sight you'll be fine. The second you show some talent and upper management becomes aware of you get ready to play the game of thrones.

Cons

What started off as your typical cool tech start-up ended up becoming a real-life nightmare. As every other real reviews have stated there is some real life Game of Thrones action going on here. If you're best friends of or related to the founders then you get to pick your title and position. If not, then prepare to work your life off in order to make up for the slack of those unqualified team members and then later get let-go for non-performance. To succeed here, you don't need to be good at your job, you just need to know how to kiss up to those in power and always have a scapegoat to blame.

Pros

The fake reviews on glassdoor are awesome. They make this place seem great!!!

Cons

Apply if you answer yes to any of the following: * Succeed in an culture based off of fear and suppression? Then this is the place for you! * Apply If you love to see the most incompetent, dumbest, and non-knowledgeable middle management somehow get promotions while the competent get pushed out. * Allergic to technological innovation? * Micromanagers apply NOW. * Hate a diverse culture? * Love maintaining a legacy stack? Tips to succeed at Spokeo: * The more you complain and finger point the better off you are. It deflects any criticism of you or your team onto another team. This is key to survive and succeed at the chaotic and toxic Spokeo office. * Be non-female. All female leads and managers has been pushed out. * Make sure you bring your 'A' game for office politics. * Be nice to EVERYONE but stab them in the back to higher ups when convenient. * DO NOT TRUST ANYONE (I can’t stress this enough)!!! * Physically be at your desk later than everyone else. Higher ups love when people stay late. Wait, what flex hours? * Make sure you stay out of the executive’s radar. The more they know about you and what you are doing the worse off you are.
