Pros
The work-life balance was really good and I loved the mental health Fridays. My manager was wonderful and I learned a lot under their guidance. Team collaboration is a huge aspect and I truly appreciated every single one of the people I met in my department. There was a good mix of different clients which kept my interest and curiosity. My growth at Single Grain was evident and I appreciated my time working there!
Cons
During my time at Single Grain, there was a very high churn in both employees and clients. It was evident that the company was struggling internally as goals were consistently not met each quarter. I gave the company the benefit of the doubt and stuck around because I thought there was going to be a possible uptick of good news. Unfortunately, that was not so. There was a lack of transparency from the leadership side and it wasn’t until employees spoke up that discussion and acknowledgement was made. (However, employees started to be let go off before these processes even started to be implemented.) My biggest con and truly the only thing that bothered me was that I felt that HR was unprofessional when it came to notifying me about my lay-off. Felt ambushed, disappointed, and even a bit disrespected by their approach. (It was kind of shady if I have to be completely honest) I spoke up about this and they were very open to my feedback which I appreciated. Truly, I have no bad blood with the company. I hope SG continues to do well and I wish them the best as they played a huge role in my development in the field and gave me a chance when I had no prior experience in the industry.
