Pros
I've been working at Spiceworks for 10 months now and, without a doubt, the best employer I have worked for.
The recruitment process was an important part in influencing my decision in joining the business. The recruiter handled me well, unlike most do in the industry, never pressured me into doing days that I couldn't attend and gave me in detailed feed back after every step. You also got to meet majority of the senior members of the company, which doesn't happen in most intereviews, this gave me an opporunity to get an understanding of the direction of the business and really buy into it.
When going through the interview process a lot of promises were made around the company culture, the autonomous nature of the role etc. It was giving it'self a lot to deliver on. But within the first 1 month of being here (London Office) it became very clear that these promises were being delivered on.
The whole office is welcoming and there is a lot of an opportunity for after work social life. Our fantastic HR team are very proactive in making sure there is a sense of togetherness and culture, so they regularly organise dinners, nights out etc.
Specific to the role, as a sales person I feel its important that management trust in your ability to do your job well. At Spiceworks they do just that.
The product we sell is unique to the market and in comparison to our competitors, they can't come close to offering what we can. In sales this is great as it gives you a unique USP and makes your job easier.
The company it'self is going in the right direction, they are hiring talented and bright individuals to help push us forward and investing more and more into us as employees.
To summarise, coming to the end of my first 10 months and im already looking forward to the next 30.
Cons
Holiday is a bit under competitive but I have heard this is under review.
