Avantages

Company culture is great and the people i worked with are some of the brightest individuals i've ever worked with. Unlimited PTO is always a plus as well

Inconvénients

Every department is out for the best interest of themselves. There truly lacks cohesion as whole and everyone is trying to save their own butts to avoid the next wave of layoffs. There has been a change of leadership that has led to a HUGE amount of people leaving the company(atleast 30%) and hitting our profit goals became more important than the actual work we produce. It was a real bummer because they have the potential but as you have read in other reviews, it starts with Leadership. With no ability to align on the direction of the company, this has led to team vs team battles and closed door conversations. Its disappointing because i was hoping for a lot more. This company is trending in the wrong direction and has been for the last 9 months now.

Thank you for the feedback. At Springbox, our culture starts and ends with people — insanely smart, incredibly humble, passionate people. The kind that inspire others, every day. Sure, we have dogs in the office and plenty of ping-pong, but we know (and we appreciate you recognizing) that’s not what it takes to do great work. While it is easy to recognize where we excel, we’re very open to how we can improve and I’d like share a few of the ways we are doing so that directly address your specific concerns. Over the past 9 months, we have fundamentally restructured and rebuilt our senior leadership team with the addition of several key roles. These pivotal moves have enabled our organization to focus first on our people, ensuring they have the time and space to do the best work of their career here. Doing our best work begins with removing barriers. In the first quarter of this year, we tackled many of these head on. We found our sweet spot in the middle market and aligned our organization around a clear company mission and vision. We established a set of core values to guide behavior and launched these with a bang at our full-company annual offsite. (We celebrate these values every Monday morning in the form of gratitude recognition to individuals at our All Hands, All Hearts meeting.) We combined our technology expertise and passion for purpose-driven work by partnering with The Promiseland Project to bring purpose back to America, through in-kind resources. We kicked off an intense four-part managerial training series that is mandatory for all employees with direct reports, including quarterly manager performance reviews. We facilitated our first Annual Career Development program, positioning every employee into a clear career path with defined responsibilities, goals, performance expectations and training opportunities. And we’re not stopping here. Q2 begins with a new set of objectives and goals that will keep us on the path of making Springbox a hard place to get into and even harder place to leave. Thank you again for your feedback. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Avantages

There are the three things that make Springbox a great place to work: the people (and their dogs), the culture, and the breadth of work. Springboxers are engaging, outgoing, inclusive, and smart people. Despite the recent growth, it's still a place where you know every person by name. And you probably know their dog’s name, too. Happy hours are not obligatory one-drink affairs, because they're often impromptu around the ping pong table. A lot of companies tout “culture” as a perk, but Springbox actually has it in spades. They focus on hiring people who are good at what they do, but aren’t all about their own ego. Which makes collaboration easier and ultimately, makes the work better. With a good group of core clients and new projects consistently coming in the door, there is always new work to take on. Which makes it a great place to develop your digital chops. Not all of the projects are glamorous, but each presents it’s own set of challenges and learning opportunities. At the end of the day, it’s a place where your coworkers will become your friends and your career has the opportunity to grow if you put in the work.

Inconvénients

he natural by-product of producing good work is more work and new clients. For Springbox, that happened really quickly. Teams had to get bigger, fast and processes (or lack thereof) had to be scaled for a larger company. All of this change in a short period of time has created a lot of uncertainty as new leads have come in to evolve the way projects are run.
