Lunch isn't served on fridays.

Cons

Just acquired by Vista Equity, so working through a number of pains related to the merger

Cons

- The politics and gossip here are insane. In general, anyone in a management role is way more focused on managing up then they are helping grow and support the team they manage.
- Middle management is a joke, personally speaking, my manager had no experience in leading (director level) and could care less about employee growth. I constantly asked for feedback and what I could do to get to the next level in my career and received no support or advice. I even took initiative and put together a growth plan for myself and walked him through it and it was pushed aside.
- Prepare to be chained to your desk or given the side eye if you leave to work from home or work from a coffee shop. There was little to no trust in employees to work autonomously.
- No growth opportunities.

Cons

the merger/acquistion resulted in an inordinate amount of lithium leaders staying and a huge amount of Spredfast leaders being shown the door. It was publicly stated in meetings that the newco by the new president and CEO that they wanted young , inexperienced (and cheaper) people to grow into roles...smacked of agism across the company

Cons

high stress, high turnover, complex market

Cons

Leadership at Spredfast used to have amazing leadership prior to the Lithium merger. Most of the original Spredfasters have left and now it is at least 50% Lithium. The C-suite of the new company seems formal, rigid & cold. It's too bad as Spredfast used to be awesome to work with & the culture was Play Hard, Work Hard.

Cons

Cannot think of any cons

Cons

There is absolutely no career growth unless you want to suck up and brown nose the people above you. This causes people who have no business or experience managing a team to suddenly become your manager or get some other awesome promotion that is not deserved.
Workplace gossip is constant.
If you speak up because you and others on your team are unhappy, they'll find a way to shut you up.
Even before the merger, there was constant fear of lay offs and now it's only gotten worse.
Everyone in management has their own agenda and they don't care what they have to do to achieve their goals. Lies, shady actions, strange meetings... My time at this company reminded me of a high school filled with drama, only it's more sad because these are adults who know better.

Cons

Remote employees are neglected and forgotten
Product and Development on an island and don't work well with other departments
Integrations seemed random and poorly thought out while big ones neglected

Cons

Communication... it's like most growing companies. They could communicate better.
