Best team of people I've ever worked with.

Pros

People trust and respect each other to pull their weight, help out when they see opportunities and to have a good time in the process. The business is expanding rapidly, and leadership is very tuned in to the needs of different teams while keeping a focus on the mission and listening to feedback. I've worked at Sprout for 3.5+ years and have yet to experience a slow day or a morning I regret getting in early.

Cons

As with any start-up, there's a lot of trial and error - new people need to be patient and willing to adjust on the fly. Fortunately, errors are recognized and corrected quickly, and management is quick to adapt strategies.

Pros

This company really cares about each and every one of its employees. Despite a lot of growth, they still provide lunches for each of its employees every day, they have once/month all hands meetings to discuss progress and dinner/drinks are always provided. There is a strong sense of community across all departments and we often arrange our own get togethers outside of work time because there is real camaraderie among all coworkers. Young, dynamic, leading the industry. You always feel like you're contributing to the success of the company, no matter what role you're in. Lots of room for growth and adding to personal responsibilities.

Cons

Due to the rapid growth of the company, communication can sometimes get lost and changes are made without real plans in place. But lines remain open so everyone usually recovers from any minor setbacks that may occur.

As you know, the Sprout culture is organic - not something we manufactured. It is rewarding to see people choosing to spend their free time planning events with coworkers or simply grabbing a drink after work. We agree with you that clear communication is key so we'll keep thinking of ways to improve it.

There's a reason the retention rate is so high!

Pros

I've been in jobs I liked and jobs I very much didn't like. Dealt with micro-managers and been thrown to the wolves. This is the first point in my career where I can honestly say I love what I do, where I do it and who I do it with. Management - At Sprout, the senior management team has a knack for hiring bright and dedicated personalities, and they have that perfect balance of guiding you while also trusting your opinion and your ability to figure things out. Their brilliance in what they do keeps you completely confident in where the company is headed. The Actual Work - Solving tough problems and working with smart people is so much more stimulating than I could ever explain. The ownership you're able to take on with any task you do, even when working in a team, keeps you inspired because you feel like you're making a difference in something valuable. And it doesn't go unnoticed. Teammates - If it's not obvious from me, everyone here totally drinks the Kool-Aid and is all in. The sense of camaraderie that comes from that is incredible to be a part of. Happy hours, barbecues, and spontaneous fun events (or puppy visits) are always popping up. Culture - In terms of culture, I can't say enough. It's great to see the mix of people walking around in shorts and tees or shirts and ties, brainstorming in beanbag chairs or sketching out ideas on a whiteboard. Catered lunches, snacks, drinks, and all the espresso and coffee you need to get started make it hard to leave at the end of the day. And ping-pong and arcade games give you the quick break you need to recharge or clear your head.

Cons

Well, sometimes it's cold, but I just keep a jacket at my desk.
