How employees describe working at SmartProcure / GovSpend
People stuck around so strong friendships developed, they picked great people to work at this company- very team oriented
Love this company's core values. Allows me to have work/life balance and flexibility to put my family and health first. Provides ample opportunity to learn and grow within the organization.
Price, huge sticker shock with the change to the packages. We have to cut our users in half and still pay more, with a discount. No notice, so this increase is not in our budget and our service was cut off without contact instead of the normal auto renewal invoice. Now investigating alternatives.
SmartProcure is the best company I've ever worked for - it's the strongest engineering team I've ever seen.
Very motivating and promote self growth
