Pros

Sprout clearly takes care of their people. Not only through their every day perks, but once you are in the door you are part of the family and they are committed to your success and keeping you as part of their business. They bend over backwards for their employees. Not to mention the fact that you get to work with a group of the most intelligent and diversely fun people. You are challenged every day in more ways than you could expect. If you are open to learning about how to survive in a fast growing tech environment, this is the place to be and these are the people to learn from.

Cons

When any employee shows a lack of appreciation for the company. Rarely happens, but when it does, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Pros

I feel very fortunate to work at Sprout Social. Sprout wants the best for its employees, and here are a few reasons why I feel so lucky. The open lines of communication 1) I have a great relationship with my boss - I feel comfortable going to my manager for questions, as well as receiving/asking for candid feedback and advice. 2) Our leadership has created an accessible work environment. If we have questions or need approval, everyone is just one email, chat, or office drop by away. 3) We are aware of new product updates, and what's coming down the pipe. We have monthly all hands meetings where these things are explained, as well as a Q & A. In between all hands meetings, we are kept aware of all things new and exciting, via email, or through our Sprout intranet. The company pride is incredible 1) we all believe in the product 2) we all believe in the work we are doing 3) we all believe in each other 4) Accomplishments are celebrated company-wide The ownership I have of my work 1) I truly feel like I make a difference here, and that what I do matters 2) I am not micromanaged, but rather trusted to do my work Office/Company Perks Free Lunch Stocked Kitchen - so essentially free breakfast Free Divvy Bike Membership/Gym Subsidy Unlimited Time Off policy Monthly Catered All Hands Meetings/Happy Hours Flexible work hours Ping Pong/Foosball Beautiful new office Excellent Medical/Dental/Vision Bragging Rights - #2 Best Place to work in Chicago for Millennials, according to Crain's Business Magazine The best staff in the city

Cons

Sprout encourages talent development for its employees, but a more verbalized growth trajectory would be nice for those who intend to advance their careers.

We're very fortunate to have you here. Hoping to give you a few new perks to brag about in the future. An increased focus on career development is something we've heard from a few different people. While we've always prided ourselves on providing new opportunities for growth, we know how important a more formalized system is so we hope to implement it at some point. Thank you for your feedback!

Pros

The culture at Sprout Social is great. It's evident that Senior Management cares about the product and the team; that enthusiasm carries throughout the company. The work atmosphere is pretty laid back, but that isn't to say that people aren't competitive (in a good way). Co-workers are great to work with as they are friendly, smart and willing to help when needed. Perks: "unlimited" vacation days, a free catered lunch every day, new office in downtown Chicago, very understanding when personal matters come up, monthly company happy hours along with other various team outings. Management doesn't micromanage (at least not in my situation). They offer help and suggestions when needed, but otherwise, trust you to get your work done.

Cons

The lack of 401k matching (or any input into it). Doesn't really offer assistance in continued education. While I feel there is room to grow professionally at Sprout, it's not clear on what opportunities are/will be a viable option on the sales side. For certain processes, something that shouldn't be difficult has to go through 3 or 4 people to be done.

A little healthy competition never hurt anybody. Glad to have you on our team! We hope to continue making Sprout as enjoyable as it can be for you (and we're still working on "Sproutifying" the office)! Additionally, we're looking to provide additional financial and career development in the future.
