Pros

Spreedly has built a genuinely mature, best-in-class product and cemented itself as the leader in payment orchestration. Strong partner ecosystem and client base that speaks for itself.

Cons

The new management team has been a step back. Strategic direction is largely absent and the team feels like it is in maintenance mode rather than building toward anything. Promotion decisions have been inconsistent and, in many cases, demoralizing. Strong people were passed over and eventually left as a result. On the sales side, leadership lacks vision with no clearly defined ICP or structured approach to the market. It shows. Leadership needs to invest in both vision and people management if they want to retain the talent that made the product great in the first place.

Pros

The executive leadership team has a solid vision. The company is working on some exciting new products and features. As a small company, there are plenty of things to do and learn outside your normal day to day. Fully remote, with awesome periodic company get togethers. Growth company with LOTS of potential. This is one of those places where the sky is the limit (a less optimistic person might say they give you enough rope to hang yourself with).

Cons

Fully remote - this isn't for everyone. It can be pretty isolating depending on your role. Spreedly has been through a lot over the years - and you can tell. There is change fatigue wearing on people. As a newer person, I dont feel it directly, but as someone who is trying to drive change, I feel it from others regularly. Compensation might be lower for some (example - no annual bonus program / consistent recurring equity program).

Pros

- Great product filling a need in the market. - Great front line sales and customer people people. - Visionary CEO

Cons

- Terrible people and operations team. - “Culture” is just a buzzword not a value. - Sales reps are grossly undercompensated as the romanization lacks experience and expertise on how to structure commission plans. - People operations team who are more focused on their own personal brands rather than the success and well being of their employees.
