Pros

Spokeo provides a wonderful work environment that encourages hard work, creativity and individuality. The company goes above and beyond to create an environment that is employee focused. Management recognizes hard work and also sees the need to have fun as a team.

Cons

Typical growing pains of a fast paced/growing company. The company needs to mature in some areas as typical with a start-up. However, the areas for improvement do not outweigh all the positive aspects of the organization, nor would they stop me from recommending the company to a colleague.

Pros

My time at Spokeo has given me a number of great experiences. Like other reviews have mentioned, one of the biggest elements to Spokeo is its culture. Spokeo goes above and beyond to create a work environment that is welcoming and enjoyable. The catered lunches, benefits, and social events are all things that make Spokeo as unique as it is. Another aspect to Spokeo’s culture is the how they have implemented multiple ways for their employees to get involved and be able to contribute. I was personally able to participate in the Culture Committee and the Spokeo Scholarship Program. These were opportunities where I felt like my voice was being heard and the suggestions of those around me could be taken into consideration. Finally, the connections I was able to create at Spokeo are invaluable. There are some genuinely incredible people working there if you take the time to get to know them. I was able to interact with people within my department and other departments as well and learn about the people who make up the culture of Spokeo. Everyone’s experience is different but it really comes down to this: What you put into your time at Spokeo is what you’ll get out of it. Yes the job can be stressful but the opportunities and experiences available here can balance that out if someone chooses to get involved.

Cons

I would say the biggest downside is currently the limited potential for growth. I have seen so much potential come in and out of Customer Care without ever having the chance to be fully utilized. There are so many different departments for people to put their skills and abilities to good use, but they’re restricted by how few positions are available.

Pros

Generally nice & fun people, startup feel, pool table, ping pong, 18 PTO days. Annual bonus.

Cons

Run by a group of stanford grads who believe they know everything. Find yourself berated if your opinion differs from one of the founders. Only 6 vacation days. Never allowed to work from home. Strict PTO enforcement. Lack of communication. Benefits are so-so.
