See work differently
High growth and performance fuel the work we do, but they don’t define our culture. We're lucky to work with a team that’s equal parts talent, humility, determination and kindness.
Our culture
Our best is always in front of us
Committing to growth and greatness is pretty much in Sprout’s DNA. Other companies may say this, but do they have the dedicated teams, programs, processes, feedback mechanisms and testimonials to back it up? We do.
Focused on what’s most important
Acting with purpose and focus is our secret sauce. Whether it’s during our company-wide focus days, or daily focus time, we prioritize solving the most meaningful problems first—and say “no” or “not now” to everything else.
Support at every level
Driven and united by our shared goals, you see much more collaboration at Sprout than folks are used to. Across the entire org, team members are uncommonly helpful, supportive and transparent, offering an open-door policy—even in the C-suite.
Freedom to be human
Need a day off for your mental health? Take it. Need to go camera-off because, toddlers? Do it. Sprout’s flexibility goes beyond permission—we accept and empower folks to be people, first.
“A strength of our culture is that we’re very proud to work here. When we do our annual all-company kickoff, there’s this shared sentiment that we’re proud to be shipping out a best-in-class product as part of such a bada** team.”
Justin C.
Senior Engineering Manager, Marketing Development
“The executive team is so plugged into how people feel. Being in tune with the individuals who are working here is a huge piece of knowing where we need to improve and double down. It’s the first step to making real change.”
Arnita C.
Vice President, Product Manager, Engagement and Global Zones
“As a creative, I really appreciate Sprout’s Focus Days. I can get into a flow and budget my time on terms that work for me. I know I can rely on those days to be disruption-free so I can produce thoughtful work and push projects forward we’re all proud of.”
Heliz M.
Senior Brand Copywriter
“I feel like there’s trust on both sides. Sprout trusts me to manage my day and solve hard problems. But I trust Sprout too to make decisions that support us.”
Chad G.
Manager, Global People Operations and HRIS
“I really enjoy solving hard problems in collaboration with peers. We have the ability to not only say something could be better, but the ability to act on it. You don’t find that in every company.”
Shirley R.
Manager, Customer Success, Enterprise
