Pros

Mostly great people to work with. Somewhat room for growth Free snacks. Nice area to get great food.

Cons

For a small-medium size company, they try to run themselves like an enterprise. There is quite a bit of cheating; some people seek advantage at the expense of others. There is little to no standardization within the company. My successes are overlooked, and my downfalls are magnified. Departments that often work together, hardly communicate, which then causes significant issues when working on projects. The company consistently takes on more than it can handle and has personnel who are lacking skills they that a fundamental to their job role. The employer is renown for being a weird person to talk to, and is a pretty decent person, but is misguided by his immediate directors. Some of the job descriptions for the positions advertised for the company are incomplete, vague and misleading. The bottom line is unless you're on the Professional Sales side of the company, Springboard Media isn't a place to consider as a long-term career investment. If you are entry level looking for a start in the field of IT, this place maybe OK for you, but if you are experienced, look else where. In a 2 month span there has be 7-9 people leave the company with and addition 3 threatening to leave.

We appreciate your honest feedback and are sorry to hear your experience has been anything but delightful. Springboard Media prides itself on its tendency to promote from within when new positions are available. If you are not feeling sufficiently challenged with your current role, I encourage you to frequent our Careers page and apply for new openings as they become available. We love the idea of fostering growth from within and I would be happy to have a conversation with you about advancement opportunities.

Pros

Small company. You won't get lost in a sea of employees

Cons

Owner is a bit quirky. First interview is like speed dating, You and several other candidates spend 5-10 minutes with multiple "Springboarders" who will ask you very personal, intrusive questions like "What was your largest purchase in the past year?" and "What was the scariest experience you've ever had?" None of the questions are designed to see if you are qualified for the job, but rather whether you will fit into their culture. Everyone gets asked the same questions regardless of what job they applied for.
