Pros
I feel very fortunate to work at Sprout Social. Sprout wants the best for its employees, and here are a few reasons why I feel so lucky.
The open lines of communication
1) I have a great relationship with my boss - I feel comfortable going to my manager for questions, as well as receiving/asking for candid feedback and advice.
2) Our leadership has created an accessible work environment. If we have questions or need approval, everyone is just one email, chat, or office drop by away.
3) We are aware of new product updates, and what's coming down the pipe. We have monthly all hands meetings where these things are explained, as well as a Q & A. In between all hands meetings, we are kept aware of all things new and exciting, via email, or through our Sprout intranet.
The company pride is incredible
1) we all believe in the product
2) we all believe in the work we are doing
3) we all believe in each other
4) Accomplishments are celebrated company-wide
The ownership I have of my work
1) I truly feel like I make a difference here, and that what I do matters
2) I am not micromanaged, but rather trusted to do my work
