Pros

Team was nice, fun working in a co-working space. Everyone likes working from home Thursdays and Fridays.

Cons

Company has had the same CEO for more than a few years but it feels like a brand new company, where processes and values are just being set. While I liked the team, I would not recommend this company. Most I knew there were suffering from MAJOT burnout with clients, having to take on work from others who were leaving/fired. There was also a lot of turnover. Maybe in a few years when they have a good rhythm going it would be a good place to work, but it just seemed it was a 'fake it till you make it'. But again, would not recommend.

Hi there, we appreciate your feedback. I’m not sure where you experienced the major turnover from but in the last 12 months we’ve had one regrettable loss. When we sent out our anonymous employee engagement survey through Inc., only one person marked themselves as unhappy and disengaged. The entire rest of our team rated Highly Engaged. We know we aren't for everybody - something we are always trying to improve in our recruitment process. We can safely assume the one person rated as disengaged was you because the date of this review corresponds with your last day at the company. I can also assume that given it was our decision to end the employment relationship, that this may have played into your decision to leave a review and the tone of the review itself. You may say that we’re ‘faking it til we make it' but I'll let facts speak given our numbers in the last few years and our high NPS scores from our clients (66.4). We don't get to work with clients like Amazon and Uber if we are faking it. But again, you are entitled to your opinion. I respect your decision to come forward to leave your feedback but it’s my job as CEO to make sure I provide facts and context to your views in a public forum as your single experience may influence others who are more suited to our company. I wish you the best!

Pros

Single Grain is an ideal company for those who are open minded fast learners. Environment is fast-paced, focused to growth and continued learning. For me, huge support for learning is an incredible benefit of this company. That is considered as an investment and it does pay off. As you grow as a person and a professional, the company grow at the same time. It's a win-win situation. Overall, the environment is very positive, team is supportive and friendly, tasks are dynamic and interesting.

Cons

I don't see any downsides, I'm very happy so far. It depends on a person though. If you're a great fit in terms of company culture, you'll enjoy working here.

Pros

Single Grain is a company with growth and learning at it's core. It's determined to grow both as a company and a collection of individuals. The current growth rate is very exciting and future outlook very promising. The culture is casual and relaxed but performance expectations are high. That's good for those who want to work with an "A team" without all the pressure and stress of a firm 'trying' to make it with a B-team.

Cons

Keeping pace will challenge you. If you are up for the challenge, it's great; but if you are looking for a cruisey job - this place isn't for you. This is for real career makers.
