Pros

Single Grain cultivates an amazing work environment where everyone is rooting for you to be successful in your role. The company will give you everything you need to succeed -- you’ll get out of it as much as you put in. I enjoyed coming to work every day working along side such passionate and driven colleagues who truly believed in the CEO's vision. Single Grain not only provided me a wealth of knowledge about marketing but the mentorship and the role models to thrive in the field. They preach and live up to their values -- and I feel that the values are now ingrained in me. - awesome company culture - management team that truly cares about its people - free lunches, free snacks, happy hour, team outing - recognition and encouragement - lunch and learns, workshops, and more to continuously educate the team -3 days in the office, 2 days remote - last but not the least, BEAUTIFUL office in DTLA

Cons

No cons -- very satisfied.

Pros

Single Grain is a pioneer when it comes to being on the forefront of internet marketing. If you've ever wanted to work for a digital marketing agency, or have strong experience in the online marketing space, Single Grain is definitely for you. I worked at Single Grain for over a year in a sales position having hardly any prior knowledge in the digital marketing sphere. What I found as I called around and generated interest jn Single Grain services, is that many other digital marketing agencies let their clients down when it comes to knowledge of the the most recent trends in digital marketing and/or they weren't tracking the ROI of their marketing campaigns diligently enough. Single Grain delivers all of the most advanced Internet Marketing treads with the back-end and data to support these campaigns. The company also hosts weekly learning sessions and you're required to get several online marketing certifications regardless of your title, all the more beneficial to your individual career development (not to mention, it looks good on the resume). Speaking of trends (as I did above), the team at Single Grain is represented by some of the best in the Internet Marketing business. Rubbing elbows with high domain authority figures in the digital marketing sector is something that makes working at Single Grain very special, and I would think that anybody with a passion for the space would want to be part of this culture. Also, personal development is a BIG part of any employees time at Single Grain. Each quarter team member's are challenged to come up with 5 personal goals that are quantifiable in which to work towards accomplishing. At the end of each quarter these goals are reviewed and you're challenged to come up with 5 new ones. This was a blessing to my own professional career and will be towards yours. In conclusion, I came into Single Grain not knowing what to expect, and left feeling personally satisfied from a career development POV. Definitely would recommend Single Grain to a friend!

Cons

The one con: working remotely. If you're not used to it, or feel like you'd be very unproductive working from home, than maybe this isn't the place for you. Otherwise, it's very hard to see any other downsides to working there.

Pros

Somewhat decent salary. Flexibility to work on your own schedule.

Cons

A highly toxic work environment driven by fear and people-pleasing. The culture revolves around impressing the CEO at all costs, often at the expense of employee wellbeing, autonomy, and healthy collaboration. Leadership is aggressive and intimidating. The CEO regularly pressures employees for more output through harassment rather than support, creating an atmosphere where burnout is normalised. Questioning decisions, especially around the unchecked use of AI, is not welcome and can put your position at risk. Despite constant talk of wanting “A-list players,” there is no real investment in people. If you don’t immediately fit a very narrow definition of success, you are quickly pushed out. Employees can be let go abruptly, with little warning or meaningful feedback. There is no HR department to act as a safeguard when lines are crossed, leaving employees without protection. Ironically, the work itself could be excellent. With proper leadership and structure, this could be a genuinely great place to grow. Unfortunately, it is run by the wrong hands. I would strongly discourage anyone seeking a healthy, sustainable role in AI or marketing from joining Single Grain. Your talent, ideas, and time are far more valuable elsewhere.
