Recruited me, hired me, then let me go in a RIF. Within a year. - Anonymous employee Spoken Communications Employee Review

Pros

Some of the developers are cool. Nice and easy remote work policy enabling employees to miss traffic. Lunch on Fridays was nice.

Cons

I was 100% content at my last role. Was not even looking. A recruiting firm found me for a role at Spoken. They recruited me, hired me after several interviews and months later, after a leadership change, let me go as part of a RIF. Why hire me if you are going to let me go within a year? I don't think this company has the maturity needed for people to depend on them. No performance reviews were taken into consideration for the RIF (since they don't actually have a review process) and managers found out about the RIF the same time as the employees.

Pros

Spoken Communications has made some large changes in 2016. They have obtained a new CEO that has given the company a clear and concise direction to head in. They have restructured some positions that allows them to better meet their goals and have a higher success rate with their projects and tasks. The company still has some of that small business feel and you get to know your peers fairly well. The benefits are quite good and the pay is on par with other fields in the area. I would recommend this company to a friend and am happy to call myself a Spoken Communications employee. I understand that there are some challenges ahead and look forward to helping mold the company as they continue to grow.

Cons

As with any smaller company working to get into a mid-size business level there are some growing pains. It takes time and effort on all individuals and levels to work as one group to move in the right direction. Some other employees don't fully understand that and they tend to not want to go along with the changes.
