Pros

Some great people doing their best in an impossible situation

Cons

Yeah, no one is going to take these 5 star reviews from management seriously. Earlier this year, the Spireon Glassdoor rating was a more accurate 2.7, which I guess causes problems in recruiting? This is the worst place I have ever worked. A strange dysfunctional culture where raising quality issues puts a big target on your back, because the core value is not questioning anything so the place can be sold. An annoying high traffic "open office" setup with people packed together to save money on floor space. A weird disconnected sense of no integrity or accountability. Truly, genuinely evil HR. The technical chaos of a startup that was thrown together with duct tape only to be sold. I would strongly advise IT professionals to avoid this awful little company, and would strongly advise potential investors to be skeptical of every claim. Note to current Spireon employees: when they get rid of you, HR will try to get you to sign a highly restrictive "Release of Claims" agreement, saying "oh, this is very standard".

At Spireon, all employees are encouraged to share their feedback with the management team, including an opportunity to share anonymously through our Employee Survey. Employees can also voice concerns via skip-level meetings which gives them visibility with upper management. With regular communication, transparency, and action plans to address employee pain points, we are affecting positive change, and our recent Glassdoor ratings reflect this. Our culture continues to be results-driven, but also focused on work-life balance and having fun. For IT professionals that are considering Spireon, we have achieved amazing milestones in the last 2 years. Engineers have the opportunity to work with a cutting edge technology stack and a highly scalable AWS cloud environment. Our product teams have revamped their development process to deliver the most innovative products along with an automated test environment to ensure we deliver the highest quality products. While terminations are not always easy for all parties, our goal for the HR team is to be supportive and sensitive to the needs of all Spireon employees, even as they exit the company.
