Pros

Not often does an opportunity come along where the work you do benefits the product and the business in a positive way so quickly. iSpot.tv is at the forefront of a competitive fast moving industry where the product evolves rapidly keeping the work environment fresh, challenging, and a place where you will put your skills to work and earn valuable experience. The men and women of iSpot are what make this company such a great place to work. People come here from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds, and have brought skills from incredibly varied backgrounds. The opportunity for advancement is very high with many starting careers at iSpot and advancing to leadership roles. The company values talent. Benefits are extremely generous, with matching 401k, unlimited vacation, unlimited refreshments, company outings etc. Training and the opportunity for career and skills learning is also a part of the fabric of iSpot.

Cons

Not really a downside but you need to ask yourself whether you want to be challenged, want to work on new exciting products. As mentioned above, iSpot leads the industry and as a result change has to happen in order to succeed and evolve. Sometimes that requires a mindset that is willing to adapt to change.

Pros

- Flexible PTO (unlimited) - Competitive Salaries - Many employees are good people - A few managers are competent and worth working for

Cons

- 20 layers of management - Inefficient in every way - Obscene spending followed by layoffs and a hiring freeze - Heavy drinking is normal and encouraged - Sexism is the culture - Being a bro is the only way to get ahead - Executive team plays favorites and allows managers to harass their employees as long as they play their games - No consequences for poor work because there are no goals or benchmarks - Many managers have less experience managing than their employees - Sexual harassment and theft are not punished - HR is managed by finance and constantly undermined by executives - Very resistant to change and unable to recognize their own deficiencies - Zero review process so there’s no way to give honest feedback without fear of retaliation - Expertise is unappreciated and disregarded - Horrible communication across teams and from the top down with no effort to improve - CEO hired his friends and allows them to incompetently manage teams until they fall apart - Management has no understanding of morale and fails to keep employees motivated - Less than 10 people in the company understand the product and there is no training - Sales sells products that don’t exist so they can make a sale and management does nothing - Reimbursement for expenses can take over a month - Errors are fixed with more man hours rather than fixing the technology - No unified system for knowledge sharing. Things live on 4 cloud services and none of them are updated regularly

Pros

Competitive salary, & unlimited PTO.

Cons

"Bro" culture, obvious favoritism by upper management, lack of process or documentation, execs/managers are resistant to change, overall bad managers, limited career growth opportunities, little to no work flexibility (WFH is frowned upon), no performance tracking, too many layers of upper management for such a small company.
