Balanced experience - Senior Software Engineer Sprout Social Employee Review

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.

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

Remote friendly culture Good work life balance

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.
