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.

Exciting, frustrating, and everything in between.

Pros

Single Grain has a good reputation and client base for marketers who haven't really hit their stride or picked up a lot of momentum in their careers. There's always an opportunity to learn more and an expectation for every employee to continuously improve. We're always testing new strategies and tactics and we're always adapting so you'll never get bored.

Cons

Single Grain likes to maintain a level of flexibility so employees learn to adapt quickly. This isn't an environment for someone who likes to do "their job" from 9-5 and call it good and it can be a stressful environment for anyone who has a hard time with change.

I genuinely appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts about your experience from 3 years ago. We recognize that the post-acquisition period was tough and disruptive for our employees. It was a challenging time, and we've spent the last few years reflecting deeply and making meaningful changes. Through this, we've clarified our core values. Our goal is to create a dynamic environment where top performers can thrive and grow. Quality feedback is crucial to that, and we've worked to ensure our team has the guidance and support to succeed. Your perspective reinforces the importance of the changes we've made. Fortunately, while the past has shaped us in many ways, it doesn't define our present. We're committed to building an environment where our team can thrive and achieve ambitious goals together. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
