Pros

Good company but falling behind the competition due to lack of investment in product and marketing

Cons

The try to pay "at market" which means not super-competitive, at a time others are making aggressive offers.

Pros

Remote work, benefits, competitive pay for sales positions, nice people, work-life balance

Cons

If you’re considering a role here and are currently employed or have other options, I recommend looking elsewhere. Spiceworks lacks strong leadership and strategic direction. Many in management struggle with understanding the products, competitive landscape, and how to maintain a strong market position. It was clear that both leaders and individual contributors were often placed in roles without the necessary expertise, resources, or support to succeed. I watched leaders who should have thrived fall apart. In the 2024 alone, Spiceworks went through six rounds of layoffs and introduced a voluntary buyout program at the Ziff Davis level. Ziff Davis also attempted to sell Spiceworks in early 2024. The company is aggressively offshoring work to India. Spiceworks often puts profit above the best interests of its customers. Leadership appears most focused on short-term financial reporting to Ziff Davis, resorting to sketchy tactics to pull revenue into the quarter. Corners are cut, and decisions are made with short-term gains in mind, sacrificing quality. Business ethics are out the door.
