Slogan: Sink or swim. Chaos, unprofessional and very bad management.

Pros

- Used to be on smaller scale with very loving people that would help each other. - Opportunity to move higher up, but do not expect a raise. -Fun to work with toys.

Cons

-Management lacks guidance and professionalism. - The workload is extremely high but the pay is very low. No work/life balance at all. -Spin is very famous for hiring entry level people to then use them to the extreme. So be prepared to take on other roles (besides your own role), and projects that are even outside of your department. Experienced a very big Burn out because of the workload -Management does not provide guidance and or mentor ship. Your manager wont know what you are doing and will keep giving you more stuff to do. Completed projects never get acknowledged and positive feedback is hardly ever there. - Worked very hard for Spin the last 3 years and there is really nobody there that would even care a bit about it. - If you ask for pay increase they will either show you the door or make you want to leave yourself by making your life miserable.

Pros

The only pro Spin offers is a as resume builder- use the opportunity to gain good short-term experience in a global company and leverage this to step up to higher paid, better roles somewhere else!

Cons

CEOs completely disconnected/unaware of the day to day operations and negative work environment. Immature boys club at the top trickles down to incompetent senior management who are constantly jockeying to win favourites with the upper ranks in order to protect their jobs. You are only treated as number, expect no one to have your back. HR pretends to be working in the employees best interests when in fact they are just the yes men for the senior execs, too distracted by their big annual bonuses to promote any type of change- any messaging regarding promoting company culture and values are a complete farce when you see management in action. Unethical behaviour and talk laced with insensitive racial/gender comments run rampant with no ramifications

No life at Spin

Pros

If you are a part of the departments that get to travel, it is a lot of fun visiting different places and meeting people at trade shows.

Cons

People keep leaving and more responsibilities get added to your plate, without increase in salary. The management isn't involved into your work and never ask you how you are doing. People leave weekly due to all the issues for the customers and problems don't get solved. New people keep coming into the office, not trained properly and therefore a huge headache. The products are amazing but its a revolving door of employees.
