Pros

Good snacks in the office, fun events and people

Cons

Unrealistic goals, no pro rated goals when taking PTO (taking vacation days directly hurts you. They will tell you some BS story about how promotions are based on a rolling average so taking PTO does'nt hurt you but thats obviously nonsense). they do not hire from within at all. they will point to the same 3 people who "climbed" their way up and talk about how they promote from with in but its simply not true. when a new position opens up more senior to yours it will be immediately filled by an outside hire. Below market pay for the position

Pros

Sprout Social has a genuinely friendly, collaborative culture. People are smart, welcoming, and easy to work with across teams, and there's a real sense of camaraderie that makes the day-to-day enjoyable.

Cons

Where things consistently fall short is follow-through. Programs launch with a lot of enthusiasm and visibility, but the operational discipline to sustain, measure, and iterate on them after launch tends to fade. This creates a pattern where good ideas don't get the long-term investment they need to actually stick or show results, which can be frustrating for people who are trying to build durable, scalable systems. There also doesn't seem to be a clear long-term plan that the field can execute against. Priorities can feel like they shift often, which makes it hard to know where to focus or what direction to move in. Getting direct, straightforward answers from leadership on strategy and direction was often difficult.
