What It's Like to Work at Sprout Social

What drew you back to Sprout Social?

The people, the people, the PEOPLE. The leadership at Sprout is top-notch and my peers are the best. Sprout was my first job out of college, so it was all I knew. When I left it was to explore what else was out there and, right after leaving, I realized the grass isn’t always greener. 

I hit the jackpot with Sprout with the intelligent people I get to work with, a product that works and I enjoy educating people on, and amazing customers. It didn’t take me long to realize I wanted to go back to Sprout, and the timing worked out that there was an open spot for me to return. I was thrilled to rejoin my team and be welcomed back with open arms.

Since returning, what are you most excited to have back in your professional life?

Being able to have a professional life that supports my personal life. I love my job but it isn’t my whole life. I feel very fortunate to have our rest and recovery days, unlimited PTO and the encouragement to follow passions outside of work. The support we are given to enjoy our personal life makes me more motivated and excited to perform well in my professional life. I am able to show up every day with a clear mindset and a desire to perform well for my team.

What advice would you offer to leaders who wish to create the type of workplace that draws former employees back? 

When I left I had leaders let me know they supported my decision and that there would always be a spot for me at Sprout if I wanted to return. I felt so valued, supported and comforted that I had leaders that understood my decision and truly wanted the best for me. 

The culture and balance at Sprout is hard to beat and starts with the leaders. For me, a truly great workplace is defined by the people you share it with, being able to grow and learn without fear of failure, and being passionate about the company and aligning with their values. Sprout checks all of these boxes for me and I am so happy to be back.
