Pros
There are the three things that make Springbox a great place to work: the people (and their dogs), the culture, and the breadth of work.
Springboxers are engaging, outgoing, inclusive, and smart people. Despite the recent growth, it's still a place where you know every person by name. And you probably know their dog’s name, too. Happy hours are not obligatory one-drink affairs, because they're often impromptu around the ping pong table.
A lot of companies tout “culture” as a perk, but Springbox actually has it in spades. They focus on hiring people who are good at what they do, but aren’t all about their own ego. Which makes collaboration easier and ultimately, makes the work better.
With a good group of core clients and new projects consistently coming in the door, there is always new work to take on. Which makes it a great place to develop your digital chops. Not all of the projects are glamorous, but each presents it’s own set of challenges and learning opportunities.
At the end of the day, it’s a place where your coworkers will become your friends and your career has the opportunity to grow if you put in the work.
Cons
he natural by-product of producing good work is more work and new clients. For Springbox, that happened really quickly. Teams had to get bigger, fast and processes (or lack thereof) had to be scaled for a larger company. All of this change in a short period of time has created a lot of uncertainty as new leads have come in to evolve the way projects are run.
