Desventajas
Little awareness compared to its primary (and public) competitor SendGrid that was just purchased by Twilio. Out marketed by smaller competitors like Mailgun and Mailjet. A few of us across the marketing and sales functions compared notes over the past year and agreed that we had never seen such unprofessionalism by management: cliquey, boorish behavior, backstabbing, repeated inquiries into our whereabouts during office hours (it's illegal actually). All of us were stunned by how certain staff focuses on minutiae and process instead of the true priorities. The atmosphere in the office has been toxic for some time now. If interviewing, ask them about the high turnover across the functions. HR has been supportive but needs to be more involved and insist on management training! Adding plants and more social outings is nice but doesn't cut it. The market is hot, think twice before joining SparkPost.
