Spiceworks Ziff Davis Response

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I hope you'll be at our weekly company meeting as we have a lot of exciting news to share of things not going downhill. In fact, we'll cover a bunch of trends that are going "up and to the right" (aka uphill) for over a year.
Regarding the comment re: "product no longer stands out", we've communicated to our community of IT pros at Spiceworld London in May and at Spiceworld Austin in November how we're evolving the entire Spiceworks experience and product suite and we received very positive feedback. We've also covered that in several company meetings and at our weekly Friday meetings. As with any evolution though one can never communicate enough so as we head into '17 we'll spend even more time here.
In college whenever I heard recruiters say "what I love about working at X place, is the people" I never really fully understood what they meant by that until I started working at Spiceworks. Literally everybody I have worked with is incredibly smart, kind and always willing to give you a hand whenever you need it. The people are truly the thing that makes this place so great to work at. Work doesn't seem like work here and that says a lot. Truly a one-of-a-kind company, I love it here.
Cons
The only thing that comes to mind is the terrible traffic commute to get to work everyday although that is not really Spiceworks' fault.
