Pros

remote most people are generally great to work with

Cons

If you decide to work here, I would come in with a 1-1.5 year timeline. After that, your time and effort will have diminishing returns. Sprout's culture is very "I don't want to hurt your feelings but I won't do anything to address the problem." Regardless of how much you may be qualified or advocate for yourself, they are dead set on not giving raises and will make you go above and beyond to prove your case for promotion for a few extra dollars and that's if they give it to you. Doesn't matter if you are good at what you do or a top performer, they are putting people on coaching plans for the most insignificant things that make a farce out of the entire concept of a coaching plan. Feedback is only received well when it directly aligns with what leadership wants to hear or is already considering. Not really great at receiving criticism. Not a horrible place to work but definitely not a place you should trust your career long term. Don't get stuck here in this tough hiring environment because you will regret wasting your talent.

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.
