Pros

It's been about 4 months since I've started with Single Grain but I already feel I've gotten the experience of 1 year. First month was straight into the deep end with onboarding, projects, and learning through books/podcasts/blogs/etc. I did have some hiccups but the plentiful one on one's with upper management steered me in the right direction and let me know that everyone fumbles a little bit, at least in the beginning. But the 6-week mark I hit my stride and really appreciated the processes that are set up for EVERYTHING. Favorite things are flexibility (Downtown LA office is Mon-Wed on-site with Thurs/Fri work at home), continuous learning (if you want some resource to learn from...you'll get it, plus plenty of already acquired tools/resources), small team camaraderie, and ability to see personal impact in company and clients.

Cons

There were a few times during the first month when I thought onboarding was too fast paced. Despite processes for everything, some end up being forgotten and not followed.

Pros

You learn a lot here, often things you did not even realize you needed to learn. The environment moves very fast and you are exposed to many parts of the business, which forces you to grow quickly. You also work with very smart, capable people, which raises the bar and pushes you to think differently and improve your own skills. The company is very much in an AI-first phase, so everyone is expected to understand and use AI tools in their work. If you do not have AI experience, you will likely not be considered for a role. That said, there is still a lot to learn in this space and you pick up many new skills while working here because AI is integrated into many workflows and people are constantly experimenting and improving how they use it. If you enjoy problem solving, figuring things out as you go, and working in a high pressure environment with deadlines, it can be a great place to develop professionally. The skills you build here are very transferable and you can take what you learn and apply it almost anywhere you go.

Cons

The pace is not for everyone. It is definitely not a clock in clock out type of job. If you are looking for a simple 9 to 5 where you can do the same tasks every day without thinking too hard, this probably is not the right environment. Things move quickly and expectations are very high, which can feel intense if you prefer a slower or more predictable workflow.

Pros

Flexible environment with cool perks and benefits. Onboarding was great. The internal team was great to work with and I learned a lot in my time there.

Cons

Lacks overall direction - are we trying to grow the client base? Are we trying to grow with AI? Are we growing internal tools? I never really knew and often wondered if anymore clients coming on board because I never felt safe in the position no matter what I did. There is absolutely no internal processes BESIDES onboarding. After that, it's a whirlwind of all over the place. Feedback is direct, which is good at times. Other times, just saying "Use AI" might not be the answer.
