Pros

Everyone at Grow is constantly trying their hardest to find ways to help customers with leveraging their data. Grow is a very complex application but it does SO much to help those in the SMB space (first-time BI purchasers) dip their toe into the industry. In addition, Grow is preparing to be hyper-scalable for those who wish to stick with us in the long haul. We're developing features related to BI that have never been done before and the people here are all doing all we can to make sure it goes as well as possible. The leadership team is the most transparent I've ever seen. They're not afraid to admit their mistakes and where they've done wrong. I have personally never been treated anything other than extremely well and professional during my time here. I wake up every day excited to go and bring ideas to the table knowing they'll be heard.

Cons

There are obviously growing/shrinking pains with a start-up. It's not a mystery why those who leave bad reviews about Grow are past employees. Of course they're upset at the company for being laid off or let go, but it's life -- sometimes it happens. Plus, almost all ex-employees have been able to find great, more lucrative jobs after their time at Grow due to the incredible skillset you acquire at Grow.

Good, smart humans working on some fun problems.

Fast paced environment. Opportunities to increase communication but not a deal breaker.

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.
