5 Instagram marketing trends changing the industry in 2019

Sprout Social named a Chicago Tribune Top Workplace four years in a row

Each year, the Chicago Tribune publishes a list of top workplaces based on thousands of employee reviews to determine the best employers in Chicago. Sprout Social is proud to be included on the list of midsize companies for the fourth consecutive year in a row for 2018! This continuous recognition is a result of employee feedback and a reflection of the inclusive culture we’ve built thus far.

“Our people are at the center of everything we do here at Sprout,” said Maureen Calabrese, Chief People Officer. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the Chicago Tribune for our commitment and dedication to building an environment where employees can bring their whole selves to work and personally and professionally thrive.”

For Sprout, 2018 has been the year of global expansion. While Chicago remains our home, we’ve experienced rapid growth at scale—allowing us to expand our footprint to cities like Seattle, London and Dublin. Our team grew even larger when we welcomed Simply Measured into the fold in December 2017, presenting the opportunity to not only integrate our products, but our culture and team.

Amidst this growth, we’ve invested in building out our employee development programs including our Emerging Leaders Mentorship and Grow@Sprout initiatives. These programs aim to ensure our employees have the resources and support to facilitate and own their career paths.

We’re excited for what 2019 has in store for us as we continue to work on building world-class solutions and celebrating the change that comes with a growing team. As we head into the new year, we’re devoted to supporting our employees by ensuring Sprout continues to be a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace for our growing global team.

Thank you to every member of Team Sprout for helping us create and foster a supportive and collaborative workplace that has been recognized by the Chicago Tribune, Glassdoor and others.
