Pros
Spacious is solving the vacancy of storefronts the right way - by filling them in with useful spaces that don't increase property value. High-end restaurant partners get extra income and referrals, and landlords benefit by their property being kept active and appealing. This is a recipe that will succeed. The way work gets done is great - flexible hours, flexible locations, flexible requirements but in a good way. Compensation is good to great, and includes a 50% computer subsidy and 3% 401k matching. Vacation is "unlimited" which is a bit of a scam because there is no payout when you leave the company, but I took the average and it worked out really well. When I or a teammate needed tools, we were always given them. So - company mission is on point. Company work life is on point. Job support is on point. I do not regret joining Spacious nor working there as long as I did.
Cons
Saw a fair bit of drama, secrets, and sudden departures including one core member who had been around a long time. I heard about customers being banned for their personal beliefs. I never really felt like my position was stable. There were mass layoffs followed by mass hiring, and churn was always high. Full disclosure - I got laid off a downturn. I believe I was the highest performing member of the Engineering department, and I oversaw development of multiple high-profile features during my time there, including during a 3-month period where I was the sole engineer. I made friends at the company even as they came and went. I made decisions based on what was best for the company. I made sure I gave at least slightly more time each week than was expected. Farewell.
