SPS Commerce Reviews

Pros

A LOT of opportunities to demonstrate your skills and abilities. This fast growing company definitely offers a lot of challenges to identify and solve. Lots of room for activity above and beyond your normal job description. The company does a great job of taking care of their employees and offers a positive, supportive work environment.

Cons

Internal friction between different departments causes some to take their eyes off the ball. Lack of communication channels keeps teams in the dark regarding what others are working on. Internal tools are cumbersome and require a lot of maintenance.

Advice to Senior Management

Strike the balance between getting work out the door today and designing products and tools to set the company up for the next level. Work on establishing inter company communication channels that allow for flexibility and adaptability within the company.

Pros

Comfortable working environment,flexible working hours.

Cons

Management is nice. Benefit is ok.

Pros

Good management team.
Great coworker
Good location

Cons

Promotion sometime doesnt seem to be given in a fairly manner

Pros

Great people. Company has strong vision of where they want to be. Strong growth and recognition. Excellent pay.

Cons

More internal strife and politics than other companies I've worked at. Departments are highly compartmentalized with little communication/cooperation between them. Sales is outperforming operations team creating an ever growing backlog of dissatisfied customers.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix technology/implementation problems and get current customers into production on current products before rolling out new ones. Hire managment that can work together and build team mentallity.

Pros

work/life balance is great and low stress work environment

Cons

communication is very poor and you often do not have the information needed to do your job the best

Advice to Senior Management

focus on quality and improving communication

Pros

Small (300 employees) enough to be personal but large enough so you don't feel the need to go to your coworker's wedding. Good management feedback overall. A solid product that has produced excellent growth for the company.

Cons

Too many technical flaws in the product. The company should improve its core product before expanding into new territory. It's large enough to move up one or two positions but small enough that there isn't much beyond that for career growth.

Advice to Senior Management

There should be more emphasis on technology improvements in the core product (infrastructure investment) rather than trying to farm for new products.

Pros

Excellent working flexibility. Great vacation time (PTO). Personable co-workers who are all interesting in doing their best and improving. Mostly individual projects. Great management support. Small enough to talk to anyone (including CEO). Excellent company growth and market position. The CEO took us from a failing dotcom to a stong growth and profit company so I have great expectations for the future of the company.

Cons

With growth has come some unnecessary policies (i.e. Departments assigned to stock pop in the refrigerator, everything in freezers thrown away every Friday, etc). Not all employees try to improve processes. Some areas have had huge growth so there isn't as much experience. Employee retention is poor in some departments.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus more on improving our efficiency at providing our core service.
