Great company, rough patch in sales - Account Executive Sprout Social Employee Review

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.

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

Sprout is still a stand-out in the tech industry among employers where the culture and work environment have rapidly declined over the last 5-6 years. Where many other tech companies have leaned heavily into forced return to office, Sprout continues to offer an incredibly flexible, remote-first work environment. This allows people to have lives outside of work and support their families. I appreciate that the company trusts its employees to just get the job done without requiring in-office work. Our CEO is one of the best leaders that I've had the opportunity to work for: humble, motivating, and deeply cares about the company and people.

Things move and change fast at this stage of the company, so for those coming from larger organizations or slower paced environments may have a hard time adjusting to the pace.
