Vantaggi
I loved Spokeo. I felt at home with my co-workers and I loved the flat structure, often interacting with the founders of the company. The culture is really the best you could hope for, in large part due to the awesome culture team there, particularly Rene and Nathalie. Great people. They've done so much for the people there and it's not something you can easily find elsewhere. It's not about the extravagant parties... it's about the details, the thought, the care they put into everything. This was also a great place to be able to learn about different roles and get your feet wet, learning new skills from others and growing as a professional.
Svantaggi
The main downside is the emphasis on developers over everyone else. They're paid very well and are taken care of, but some of the other departments don't get nearly as much attention and training. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of co-workers in other departments who are more than willing to help. It's a great group of people hired. The issue comes from the founders and other people should definitely not be blamed for it. Not a big enough of a downside to think poorly of the company, but it was a factor in leaving.
