      Okay company, terrible employees - Anonymous employee Spokeo Employee Review

      Pros

      - The perks (catered lunches every day, great health benefits, company culture events, etc.,) are great but don't get blindsided by them. - They have some really talented employees so you'll be able to learn things from one another.

      Cons

      The company is completely clique-y. Spokeo is like highschool all over except you are the new kid and you either fit in with the popular kids or you don't. There is a lot of nepotism and favoritism happen (though I guess it's not hard when you're married to your leads). The CEO makes a lot of emotional decisions instead of looking at metrics, data, and advice/suggestions from the very own people he has hired. If you're looking to work on the Design team, stay far away. People here will make you work on the most boring projects unless you're a close friend or dating one of the leads. That is the only way you'll be able to work on the big projects and/or make any design decisions. Oh, one very big thing. They don't use any type of task management system at all. The CEO comes up to your desk, tells you what he wants you to do (regardless of what you have going on) and you have to do it. Three hours later he'll come by to see what you've done and the cycle repeats.

      Pros

      I worked on the email team a millennia ago, not sure if it still exists today. It was a fun job not answering calls. Very small biannual raises, maybe a quarter or two increase an hour. They reward seniority and tenure. Actually, it's one of the reasons why I left, couldn't stomach seeing some of the leadership day-in-day-out. One of the team leads couldn't contain his energy whenever he was provided attractive female customer service agents to supervise, tried to put on alpha-ish displays and wore small tight shirts. Kind of created a weird aggro morale for his team, even promoted several times up to executive office for some reason. BUT thankfully, my coworkers were awesome!! This was definitely a temporary job for someone in between careers, there were lots of unique personalities, lots of snacks, company events, so I'd say the morale team (yes one of those existed) did a pretty good job.

      Cons

      Whoops, just read the above
