Great company for a working mother - Anonymous employee Spoonflower Employee Review

Awesome People: The team here is genuinely supportive and full of creative, driven folks. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re working with friends. Cool Mission: Spoonflower’s focus on personalized, creative products makes our work feel meaningful and fun. Exciting Growth: We’re evolving quickly, which means lots of opportunities to tackle new challenges and contribute in a big way.

Change & Churn: It’s been a year of adjustments, with some team turnover and evolving priorities. Not always easy, but there’s a clear effort to keep moving forward. Small Team, Diverse Responsibilities: With a lean team, there’s a lot of work across different areas. It can be a lot to juggle, but it’s a great fit if you like variety!

There were a lot of cool people on the team, until most of them were laid off.

It's no surprise to learn that both of the companies the current CEO (George) ran prior to spoonflower went bankrupt under his leadership. He is short-sighted, fosters a cliquish environment, and treats employees as disposable. During my short tenure, I watched multiple employees get laid off. We're talking about people who had been with the company for a decade, and had been instrumental in shaping the success of the brand, only to get unceremoniously dropped after the company failed to hit unrealistic growth expectations two months in a row. I watched as a new employee was hired, handed a massive project, pulled 50+ hour weeks without a single day off to make the deadline, then immediately laid off within days of the completing the project. The CEO took a 3-week vacation to Germany the following week.
