Great Product, Toxic Culture - Account Executive Spreedly Employee Review

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).

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).

- Generally speaking, work life balance is excellent - There are many great people here, which makes for a fun, overall supportive culture within many teams. - Overall interesting product space, however it is rather niche and doesn't always directly translate to other payment companies outside of payment orchestration.

- Culture is starting to show signs of cracking, starting with layoffs in 2022 continuing intermittently into 2024. Recent layoffs are not transparently communicated despite company values. - Organization is becoming less flat and decision rights more concentrated to a smaller group of individuals, causing slow decision making and lack of accountability. - No longer operates like a growth company, some of this is natural. In my opinion the company is trending downward on ambition and focus. - No raises and limited promotions in 2023 due to macroeconomic concerns despite continued growing revenue growth. - Career growth path unclear at many parts of the organization.
