Pros
Spokeo is the most generous company I've ever worked for. They care far more about comfort and perks for their team members than focussing strictly on the bottom line. They cater lunches seven days a week, host multiple events every month, have fantastic employee benefits, promote and support development training...the list could go on forever. They are bold and ambitious. They have a long term vision and they make team members feel like they are a part of it. For its size, Spokeo has a very large recruiting team. They are consistently looking for more brilliant and innovative individuals to join the team. I've worked for other tech companies who run a very slim skeleton crew where people burn out quickly. The founders of the company are down to earth. They don't take themselves too seriously. They care about the culture of the company. They care about the team. They lead with full transparency. The CEO even hosts weekly "Ask Me Anything" meetings where team members can submit top of mind anonymous questions that are answered on the spot. A risky but very telling move by Harrison Tang. It all comes down to this... The leaders of Spokeo care deeply about employee experience. They care less about lining their pockets. They strive to be better and more innovative everyday. They are investing in a strong team and a strong future. It's a nice change compared to what I'm used to. Also, the location is stellar. Working in Pasadena RULES!!!!
Cons
There is some internal processes that can be tightened up. There are a few teams that can be slimmed down and run more efficiently. There could be a better forum in place for team members to share and hash out product ideas.
