Spongecell Reviews

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We’re glad to hear you felt a sense of autonomy in your work, and ownership of the goals you executed on. Our engineering team specifically strives to provide the appropriate scope of influence across all levels. Sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience with all your colleagues here at Spongecell. Our hiring practices do not discriminate against personal relationships, unless there is a direct reporting structure involved. We are also an EOE, and take that very seriously in our recruiting efforts. Our annual performance management process is designed to identify areas of improvement and our HR team partners with Managers to ensure the proper training and development plans are put in place. It is important all employees are executing at the highest level possible to achieve our individual, team and company goals. Any plans for improvement are discussed with employees individually for privacy. We appreciate you addressing your concerns so we can drive stronger partnerships in future review cycles.

Thanks for the review. We too think our people are a key element of our success. We recognize we need to get better at cohesive communication into the why and how decisions are made, and pushing that down through the org. It's unfortunate you felt HR was not more helpful in answering the tough questions. Our goal is to be a trusted partner across our employee base, though there may be times when a degree of sensitivity to topics must be preserved for the better of the business. Your call out on the last minute change to revert to our original benefit offering is not without merit. We made what felt like the right decision based on the large number of employees who voiced their concern that the new plans were too complicated and would be happier with the older designs back in place. The business is evolving and the company is changing. With that will come a degree of attrition. These are all great points for us to be mindful of in leading Spongecell into a productive and successful future.
