Grow.com reviews

The product category is complex, super complex. When competing in BI beware that the competitors in the space are doing so with 100's of millions in funding. There is a reason that, that type of funding is required. It is not an easy problem to solve. With the amount of funding Grow has taken they have made great headway in solving reporting. A few key hires were made that were supposed to be big but turned out to be disappointing.

Take the good reviews with a grain of salt. When I worked at Grow, it wasn't uncommon at all for HR to ask us to review the company to push the bad reviews down. I never did... because, well, honesty. After a while of working at Grow I really started to understand why Grow was going nowhere. The CEO never allocated resources to the proper departments. He never appreciated, recognized or knew the talent that was in his own company. If he did appreciate it, noone would've known it. At least not in CS. I worked in CS and I know for a fact we were always ignored. Well, ignored is putting it lightly as we weren't even asked for input on the product or how it could improve, let alone spoken to. Which was incredible given the fact that CS had to see day in and day out, the frustrations that customers were facing first hand. I feel strongly that the product team, as good of people as I believe them to be, were largely inadequate. They tried, and had shown to have a lot of passion for the product. However, they lacked experience, and worse yet they commonly deflected the call to fix major bugs and KLO issues from both the customers as well as the CS department. The complete absence of interdepartmental communication was appalling to say the least. I have a lot to be grateful for having worked at Grow. I grew to love many of those I worked with, and developed skills that are very marketable. I hope the things I've mentioned amongst other issues change for the better and that these negative reviews can be a wake up call to Rob and the rest of leadership. I can't help but doubt that, though. I saw so many company opportunities and chances wasted. Disclaimer: I wasn't part of the recent layoffs from Grow, and so no, I didn't sign any severance agreements. So Glassdoor; dont remove this review under any claims for violations of agreements or anything else of the sort. I left Grow on my own accord after experiencing the lack of involvement from leadership, absence of interdepartmental communication, and failure to recognize and appreciate the amazing talent that once was at this company.
