Pluspunten

Your coworkers may be some of your best friends. Good work/life balance overall. CEO is great.

Minpunten

There is high turnover because the company lacks good management, specifically from HR. Hardworking employees are underpaid and fired with no prior warning or communication.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We are so pleased to see that you have made such great friends during your time at Spongecell. Working so closely with each other, we are fortunate to have such a talented, inspiring group of Spongers! On the other hand, we are concerned to read that you feel management does not care about employee's career goals. We are actively engaging with our leaders throughout the org and working on new initiatives to encourage an environment where employees feel comfortable discussing their concerns. This includes new actions to ensure more one-on-one time with employees and their managers to increase dialogue about the employee's career path at Spongecell and beyond. We also continue to invest in benchmarking tools and review our compensation philosophies to evolve them with the market changes. Our dedication to employee happiness will remain at the top of our HR goals. Your review helps build awareness for our department and address areas where we can grow, so thank you very much.

Pluspunten

The mission of the company is cool - the idea that every ad can be interactive and it doesn't have to be costly or a pain to deal with the way other rich media vendors make it (or at least have historically). Still a start-up environment so very casual atmosphere (no offices, wear jeans and really whatever you want to work, music played on central system Fridays, sporting events like the World Cup played in the couch area). Weekly food delivery so there's usually snacks and other food in the kitchen. Hours are great and there's an effort to do more fun things like Zog Sports and yoga in the office. Young team (only a couple people over 40) so there's a lot of good energy. Multiple insurance options - one health insurance plan is 100% employer covered. People are encouraged to collaborate with each other, share ideas between departments, etc.

Minpunten

All departments operate pretty leanly from a staffing perspective so everyone is stretched pretty thin. While people are encouraged to collaborate, there's little formal structure in place to ensure this happens. Internal communication needs to be improved within departments and inter-departmentally. More resources are needed within marketing, research, and overall sales support.
