Pros

Great work/life balance. I've loved the degree of autonomy I have. Definitely no micromanaging here. The culture is awesome. Everyone I've met has been great. Honestly, it feels good to be working with a group of responsible, reasonable, and hard working people on an awesome product.

Cons

The only cons I can think of are the typical pains of a rapidly growing startup. We are adding new people all the time and with that growth comes rapid change. But the management team have done a very good job of dealing with things. But if you don't mind adjusting to new team members and accepting new or different responsibilities then you'll be fine. To me, this feels more like a pro than a con but I know people who feel differently so I put it here.

Pros

They have some great people working for the company. It was good to learn from them and build my network. The industry is a cool and exciting one to be in. Learning BI and data has been a valuable skill for me to grow my career.

Cons

I don't see Grow succeeding and they have been going down for a few years now. They make quick and drastic pivots to the product, marketing, and overall business model without giving time to see if the changes will actually work. That was extremely frustrating to deal with when I worked for them. They don't put enough money into the product to make it stable or add key features to make it competitive in the market. The product is a buggy mess and so frustrating to use. One of the reasons I left was because I was tired of using Grow and dealing with all the bugs it has constantly. It's also missing key features that even basic BI tools have. It's overpriced and difficult to sell and even more difficult to keep customers. I had a lot of hope for Grow but I'm just not seeing it succeeding anymore. They focus too much on the financials instead of making strategic business decisions. That is due to an Accountant being the right hand of the CEO. Unfortunately, I see more layoffs coming soon. Hopefully, the CEO isn't on vacation in Mexico this time like he was when they laid off most of the sales team.
