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

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

Just coming from a larger company, it's so nice having more flexibility in my work. As an engineer, in any given day I might touch anywhere from the styling to the database queries. I really enjoy the full-stack nature of the work. Most of us tend to focus on one part of the tech stack, but it's nice stepping into new parts of the codebase. The company is growing steadily, and it's fun being able to meet new people as they join the company. The people are fun and pretty laid back. It's easy to get along with everyone. They're also very real - if they disagree with a direction or decision, that opinion is voiced. Discussions can be pretty back and forth, but it's good that a team can discuss important topics. Decent benefits. I get about three meals a week (sometimes more) catered at Grow. There are also always free snacks and drinks stocked. On top of that, there are usually food trucks outside for when lunch is not catered. Long story short, Grow is a great mid-stage startup. If like the flexibility and excitement of startups, but need the stability of a slightly more mature company, Grow is a great balance between the two!

Cons

Some might not like the flexibility. If you have a piece of the stack that you enjoy, you can generally stick to that. But you'll flourish best here if you can think outside the ticket, and solve bigger and more long-term problems. Benefits were a downgrade for me. I think they're pretty comparable to most tech companies in the area, but this might end up being a tradeoff for some. Direction of a team/feature is a little vague sometimes. That's the nature of startups - they don't have dozens of people working on a feature before it gets to development. This might be a turn off for some.
