Sprig is a company on paper that has it all - great funding/investment, exciting new leadership, a seemingly competitive product, and a market ripe for opportunity. In the year+ I have been here I have unfortunately watched the wheels rapidly fall off this company, and the executive team is doing an unbelievably poor job of picking up the piece and steering the ship.
The company has moved into a near complete hiring freeze, resources are tighter than ever, and revenue targets are missed significantly month over month, yet the executive leadership team would have you believe everything is going exactly according to plan. The c-level execs have been asking people to do more with less, and there is zero awareness or acknowledgement of the reality of our situation. Numbers seem to only be trending in the wrong direction, and instead of diagnosing the problems, we continue to "iterate quickly" aka make yet another dramatic shift in our GTM strategy based on an anonymous survey we did of 6 random people who told us they like one shade of yellow more than another.
The exec leadership has begun witch hunting; random meetings with high-power individuals are put on calendars, whispers of performance are happening behind closed doors, and the majority of people are feeling uneasy and unhappy. They proclaim an environment build on transparency and honesty, but people have been let go with very little explanation, and rapid, dramatic changes continue to be made with little to no rationale.
The competitive landscape is fierce and ever-growing, and the company has made almost zero investment in intel and analysis. We lose deals constantly with no understanding of why, and the deals we do close are all tiny. There are seemingly no greener pastures in sight, despite what the execs will have you believe.
