Top Management from China and All-hands Meetings never ever happen - Help Desk Spatial Front Employee Review

I've truly enjoyed my experience at Spatial Front as a UI/UX Designer. The company maintains a very professional and supportive work environment where people genuinely care about the quality of their work and the success of their teammates. The culture is positive, collaborative, and filled with talented individuals who are great to work with. One of the biggest benefits is their commitment to continuous learning. Spatial Front genuinely values professional development, and the tuition reimbursement program is an incredible perk that shows they invest in their employees’ futures. Overall, Spatial Front is a great place to build your career, contribute to impactful work, and be surrounded by supportive, smart, and kind people. Highly recommend for designers looking for growth and a strong team culture.

As with most government contracting environments, timelines, processes, and decision making can be influenced by contract constraints. It’s not a downside for everyone, but something to keep in mind if you’re used to fast-paced product companies.

Remote work with flexible hours.

Upper management is spineless, plays favorites, and has no interest in developing subordinate employees. Middle management is two-faced and self centered and insulated from being held accountable as long as they are upper management’s favorites. This company will lay you off with absolutely no severance and on little to no notice. When I was laid off and my last day was less than 2 calendar weeks away, and upper management had no spine to tell me. After a meeting I had to corner the COO and ask him directly if I still had a job. Yet, when I had to lay off people I was encouraged to give them as much notice as possible. Side note: I’m very happy I was laid off. Credit will not be given where credit is due, unless you’re among upper management’s favorite employees. If you’re falling short in any areas, management won’t tell you and just give you a bad end of year review, no bonus, maybe a slight raise, and hope you figure it out for yourself. Also, upper management won’t give you your review unless you ask for it, despite having strict timelines on these things and expecting everyone else to abide by them. Compensation is fine (yes, fine) but again unless you’re a favorite don’t expect a significant bonus or raise, just keep taking on more work and dealing with it.
