Leadership is severely lacking - Software Developer Spire Global Employee Review

Business Outlook

Pros

Most colleagues are very talented and enjoyable to work with. Writing code that runs in space is a rare and exciting opportunity. Good work-life balance.

Cons

We have been required (forced) to work in the office during COVID 3 days per week. Fully remote executives are the ones that make the decisions about when everyone else has to go into the office. Compensation is not competitive. Raises and cost of living can only happen every 2 years. There are very few quality leaders throughout the entire organization. Most equity "incentives" are worth nothing and are negative right now. The company is fully owned by Peter (CEO) and Theresa (COO) Platzer.

Pros

PTO benefits were solid. Many of the non-executive hires are highly capable and easy to work with.

Cons

There appears to be a lack of clear direction at the organizational level, with a primary focus on short-term financial outcomes. Office spaces are largely underutilized and not well maintained. There is also a noticeable disconnect between leadership flexibility and expectations placed on newer employees regarding in-office presence. Overall morale seems to be impacted.
