Great Coworkers, High Stress, Poor Work/Life Balance
Pros
The best teammates I've ever had. All of them were incredibly hard working, terrific collaborators, and just high quality people who time and again went out of their way to let me know that my work was appreciated or to check in when times were tough. Their camaraderie and sense of humor helped me get through some incredibly stressful situations. When I look back on my time at Spring, my coworkers are by far the greatest highlight. Other pros include ample opportunities for career advancement, competitive salary and benefits.
Cons
The company rushes to sell programs/features to customers and then leaves it to the Operations team to scramble to make them actually happen. The question "Can we actually support this?" is almost never asked. This leads to a very high stress environment and a poor work/life balance that causes consistent burnout. They also operate a bare-bones staffing model on Operations, seeking to employ the absolute minimum amount of people. This creates a pattern where understaffed teams are tasked with enormous, nearly impossible projects, which leads to a number of employees going on leave, which in turn adds more pressure and work to the remaining employees.
