Pluspunten

- Snack - Free lunch - Good Insurance - Founders and C-level at least are trying very hard to stir the company to the right direction

Minpunten

- C-level are very disconnected from what is really going but at the same time trying very hard to be involved - Endless meaningless meeting where middle management trying to put up an act in front of the C-level when there is really not much going on - Incompetent directors and VP level managers

Thank you for making time to share some of your views here. Spokeo has a great history as a boot-strapped, founder-led company for over 12 years. Aside from the great perks you mention, the active involvement and leadership of the executive team remain a key component of the company from launch to now. As Spokeo has grown and is now taking on even bigger opportunities, the need is front and center: from redefining a function’s operational excellence to expecting more from people leaders. Spokeo is definitely holding more meetings: ranging from training workshops to discussions openly questioning the best solution to a problem and to holding follow-up meetings to gain alignment on a crucial issue. We are electing to work harder at understanding each other rather than making assumptions. The importance to us of socializing, educating, and then communicating means an investment of time to understand and align on things. We want to bring everyone at Spokeo along on and to have a voice in our mission to make the world around us more transparent.

I worked on the email team a millennia ago, not sure if it still exists today. It was a fun job not answering calls. Very small biannual raises, maybe a quarter or two increase an hour. They reward seniority and tenure. Actually, it's one of the reasons why I left, couldn't stomach seeing some of the leadership day-in-day-out. One of the team leads couldn't contain his energy whenever he was provided attractive female customer service agents to supervise, tried to put on alpha-ish displays and wore small tight shirts. Kind of created a weird aggro morale for his team, even promoted several times up to executive office for some reason. BUT thankfully, my coworkers were awesome!! This was definitely a temporary job for someone in between careers, there were lots of unique personalities, lots of snacks, company events, so I'd say the morale team (yes one of those existed) did a pretty good job.

Minpunten

Whoops, just read the above
