Pros

This is the best company culture, and I think everything else flows from it: the possibility of new projects, the work-life balance, the benefits. Sprout invests in its people, from generous PTO and company-wide R&R Days to meeting-free focus days. The benefits package is pretty comprehensive including medical, vision and dental plans, 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents, a 401(k) with company match, ESPP, and real remote work (you receive a stipends for your home office) with joining the whole team in Chicago a couple times a year. On the growth side, feedback is both expected and encouraged, informally and formally. I've been really happy here.

Cons

Compensation does trend below market average for the industry, but personally, the overall benefits package and culture help offset that.

Pros

The people at the IC level are great. Office perks and lifestyle stipend are nice.

Cons

Career growth is non existent unless you are close with the right people. Turnover is very bad, had multiple managers each year. A lot of the folks who have been at the company for a long time have dipped recently and the culture is falling apart quickly. Communication standards are very bad from top to bottom. Poorly behaved leaders are not held accountable.
