Pros

There are clear growth paths for folks at Sprout across the company. Sprout takes career growth very seriously, and it is reflected in many different ways: career paths laid out with competencies for each leveling in a role, Grow @ sessions where you can learn more about different topics pertaining to your job or career growth, and my favorite part: the Slack channel where promotions are announced and celebrated. This Slack channel is a busy one! It's great to see constant recognition of hard work in promotions all across the company. The culture at Sprout rocks. It's so great to see everyone bring different parts of themselves to work each day. I appreciate the effort that goes into making sure that all employees at Sprout across the globe feel included in company activities. It's also nice to have so many Community Resource Groups to find folks who share common identities and life experiences. Starting in a remote world can be tough but having those CRGs make onboarding even easier!

Cons

Not that I know about!

Pros

This is the best company culture, and I think everything else flows from it: the possibility of new projects, the work-life balance, the benefits. Sprout invests in its people, from generous PTO and company-wide R&R Days to meeting-free focus days. The benefits package is pretty comprehensive including medical, vision and dental plans, 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents, a 401(k) with company match, ESPP, and real remote work (you receive a stipends for your home office) with joining the whole team in Chicago a couple times a year. On the growth side, feedback is both expected and encouraged, informally and formally. I've been really happy here.

Cons

Compensation does trend below market average for the industry, but personally, the overall benefits package and culture help offset that.

Pros

Remote friendly culture Good work life balance

Cons

Terrible leadership who start resource intensive vanity projects that last longer than they do. Horrible infrastructure that holds back product innovation. Company only seems to want the appearance of being data-driven, but when asked to take real steps to invest in scalable infrastructure and tooling, they balk.
