Pros
Cliche as it may be, the people at Spokeo are really enjoyable to work with. The hiring process puts a lot of emphasis on cultural fit and it shows. The higher-ups understand how important happy employees are to a successful business, and so they do their best to make Spokeo an enjoyable place to work. You get everything from over-the-top parties, to company sponsored events once a month with a lot of thought put into how to make them fun and integrating for new-comers, to catered lunches, to 18 days PTO, to top-notch benefits. As an engineer, work was pretty great. The engineering manager, Byron Wang, is best-in-class. A lot of effort goes into making sure work isn't stressful for engineers. And, more than anywhere I've worked, the engineers at Spokeo are passionate about code quality, so working with the codebase--although dated--is a mostly pleasant experience.
Cons
The passion a lot of the employees have at Spokeo, from engineers all the way to management, is sometimes detrimental. Also, QA and customer service need to stop being treated like second class citizens.
