Pros

* True Remote-First Culture: Never felt pressured to go into the office * Decent Compensation: Salary and benefits are... satisfactory. * Many engineers care about best practices and advocate for positive changes in the codebase. * Less bureaucracy: As a small company, there is less red tape, though it's not completely absent. * Work-Life Balance: Used to be good, but has been deteriorating amidst the scramble to save the company.

Cons

* Recent 20% staff reduction * Ongoing Silent Layoffs: Folks frequently fired for 'performance reasons' * Incompetent Engineers: Promotions are based on seniority and politics rather than performance, and people are often fired for going against the grain * Lack of Diversity, especially among engineers/leadership. Practically zero female representation. D&I efforts are lip service at best

We continue to serve millions of unique visitors on a monthly basis and will keep investing in new products and features so that we can indeed unlock more value for our users and subscribers. Despite recently having to make the tough decision to part ways with some teammates, we continue to be bullish about the future. Our company culture remains vibrant, and we continue to offer perks like our flexible work location program (thank you for noting it!) and great healthcare benefits while also keeping our compensation packages highly competitive.

Pros

Spokeo takes good care of us, the office is open and fun. I feel like my ideas are heard and I respect the people I work with. Perks: - Catered lunches - Free snacks - Stocked fridges with drinks and beer - Ping pong, foosball, pool, video games (and time to play) - Lots of vacation and holidays - Flexible hours

Cons

The code base is older but there are a lot of great devs working hard to migrate and modernize with newer technology. In fact, this is less of a con to me because if everything was perfect, what would be left for me to engineer?
