Pros

None that make it stand out over any other company

Cons

The company is all marketing and hype. They constantly talk about an integrated risk management platform and the CEO actually believes we have one, When in reality it’s just separate software systems that have been brought together by acquisition . Management and executive leadership team only look out for themselves and for what they can gain when the company is sold if they are shareholders. Constant revolving door of employees most of the real talent has left and now we are hiring new graduates that last 6 to 12 months. Absolutely no regard for staff and no support is offered in any aspects by HR . We have now had nearly 12 months of lockdowns due to Covid and the company has done little to nothing to support people during this period. Many staff have had to homeschool children take care of elderly relatives and Sphera has done nothing to help with this burden except push harder and harder for increased sales. There is constant reorganisation, yearly changes in sales methodologies And approaches as if these are the new Nirvana. The ELT seems a to higher their friends whether they are qualified or not. The ELT is white middle-class men of a certain age with a token woman in HR. Management tend to be condescending and in many cases far less knowledgeable than the staff they oversee. Expect to be sworn at, bullied and never actually get any time off without being disturbed for the most minor matters as most managers are not capable of using the simplest tools or following internal procedures .

Pros

- Overall, the product mission is in the right place. - There are people who really care about their work, and want to do the right thing even if they can’t do so. - Chicago headquarters is nice

Cons

- High turnover at all levels including executive team. CFO, CMO, CHRO and CSO have left in the past 6 months alone. 3 of the 4 of those roles remain open. - Management is highly disorganized. Spending is based on emotions. If you’re in sales, your budget is effectively a blank check. But wait…are the sellers actually selling and meeting targets? No. - Budgets continue to be squeezed. No investment. Some teams are heavily overworked meanwhile some don’t have enough to do. Ironically, the budget and resources are being stripped from those overworked teams. - Mass layoffs at least once a year. Jobs continue to be offshored (more layoffs) with unqualified talent to save a couple bucks. - Despite all those cost cutting efforts, the bonus this year paid 10%. Yes, ten percent. - Compensation continues to trail the market. - Entirely too much micro managing from the top that don’t translate into valuable results.
