High effort, low reward - Anonymous employee Sprout Social Employee Review

If you decide to work here, I would come in with a 1-1.5 year timeline. After that, your time and effort will have diminishing returns. Sprout's culture is very "I don't want to hurt your feelings but I won't do anything to address the problem." Regardless of how much you may be qualified or advocate for yourself, they are dead set on not giving raises and will make you go above and beyond to prove your case for promotion for a few extra dollars and that's if they give it to you. Doesn't matter if you are good at what you do or a top performer, they are putting people on coaching plans for the most insignificant things that make a farce out of the entire concept of a coaching plan. Feedback is only received well when it directly aligns with what leadership wants to hear or is already considering. Not really great at receiving criticism. Not a horrible place to work but definitely not a place you should trust your career long term. Don't get stuck here in this tough hiring environment because you will regret wasting your talent.
