Pros

Grow is an amazing place to work! The culture is all about winning - winning for our customers and winning for each other. We work hard and we play hard. If you have a builder mentality, like to win, enjoy the startup scene, and want to work with a smart, driven, principled team, you'll love Grow. Grow gives its employees ultimate autonomy to use our creative abilities to get the job done. It is not a culture of micro-managment; its a culture of we hired you for a reason and trust in your abilities to do the job we hired you to do. To thrive at Grow you need to be a self-starter and have the ability to use your own creative abilities to get the job done. Other pros: - Breakfast served every Monday morning - Frequent spiffs - Good benefits - Wicked smart, talented co-workers - Collaborative work environment - Very fast growing startup

Cons

Not a con, but if you don't do well in the startup scene or you're not a driven self-starter, Grow may not be the best place for you.

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.
