Spoiler Alert recognized as 2023 Best Place to Work

Spoiler Alert, a mission-driven, venture-backed technology startup at the intersection of supply chain resiliency, affordable nutrition, and climate change, announces its recognition as one of Built In's 2023 Best Places to Work, earning places with Best Startups to Work For, Fully Remote Best Startups to Work For, and Fully Remote Best Places to Work. The annual awards program honors companies of all sizes - remote, hybrid and in-office - with the best total rewards packages across the U.S.

"Here at Spoiler Alert, we pride ourselves on listening to employee feedback and continuously investing in initiatives that let us bring our best selves to work," shares Ali Rosewood, Director of Operations. "This recognition is a testament to our efforts to create an equitable, engaging, and performance-driven culture that ensures our employees have the support and resources they need to grow professionally." Over the past three years, the company has evolved its comprehensive compensation and benefits program and embraced a remote-first approach to hiring and collaboration. This includes progressive stipends for wellness, professional development, and remote work, as well as expanded PTO and parental leave programs to encourage balance. 

During this time, Spoiler Alert has also created opportunities for emerging leaders to take increasing responsibility in company management and shape the future of their functions. "Our people are so critical for allowing us to fulfill our mission and power the waste-free economy," states Ricky Ashenfelter, co-founder and CEO. "Nothing is more fulfilling than coming to work alongside a passionate group of colleagues that care so much about both societal impact and the digital transformation of one of the most critical verticals of our economy." This past year, Spoiler Alert helped its customers keep more than 300 million pounds of food out of landfills.
