Searchspring reviews

* Lots of cronyism, hiring of friends over qualified candidates * Very poor handling of COVID vaccination/mask policies. Upper management never stopped coming into the office and never wore masks. They wouldn't even require unvaccinated people to wear masks in the office, which was well within HIPAA - when I pointed this out to them, they gave me a vague non-answer. * Very uncompetitive pay * There's a company value of "Open by default", however I was told too keep secrets, stop posting certain things, and even had my some of messages deleted. * No follow-through on promises of pay increases or performance review follow-ups * Atmosphere that encourages working nights and weekends

This company has been around for 11 years, but you would think it's still in the startup stage from the way it is run. There is not much process in place for training or long term employee development. If you're looking to join a growing company with a lot of opportunity, you should avoid SearchSpring. I heard of multiple cases where management will promise an employee a performance review/opportunity for a raise, but will keep pushing it off. Ridiculous. This company does not seem to understand that its most valuable assets are its employees. The CEO can be a micromanager, and seems insecure that his employees are taking advantage of him. This mindset trickles down and does not make for a fun culture (just my two cents). There is another co-founder, who still collects a salary even though he doesn't really do anything. He is never in the office, and lives in a different state. I'm not sure why he is still with the company. Management is ignorant to criticisms and high employee turnover (probably due to a lack of experience of management). It's a fine company if you stick around for a year or two, but there probably isn't a prosperous future for anyone beyond that.
