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

As an agency, you get to be exposed to working for clients from varying industries and get more hands on experience on all aspects of a project.

Cons

Company/management focus a lot on employee's individual goals and reviews but employee don't seem to get the support from management to execute these goals. For example, our bonus was tied in heavily to the goals we have to achieve, however, our goals can't be related to our day to day work and we don't have additional hours to work on these goals making it hard to achieve these goals. Also, management will ask employees to submit weekly self-eval, but management don't execute any suggestions provided by employees. We don't see any improvements despite providing our feedback.
