Pros

--good health insurance --bonus incentives (though I don't know how long that will last) --decent vacation if you're just starting out --used to be filled with people that really cared about one another

Cons

--no sick time --current CEO laid off 1/3 of the company for no apparent reason --no clear plan for the future --since the new CEO arrived the company and it's leadership have lost their morals --lack of empathy --currently very unstable --I would NOT recommend working here --very much a work hard mentality, not many breaks or outings --not enough community involvement --lack of full, transparent communication in many things

Thanks for your comments. I hope that you feel that we've improved considerably since June. We've worked hard to define our company culture and promoted a transparent and open environment. Grainbridge has had a lot of change this year. Unfortunately, change often means that there's a period of what can feel like instability. Even so, we launched our product in September and our team is really proud of ourselves for achieving that critical milestone. One note is that we have four weeks of PTO, which combines vacation and sick time into a single package. Also, we're working on getting more involved in the community and have recently done some work with RISE Omaha. Mark Johnson, CEO

Pros

-Great Culture, co-workers look out for each other, managers ask how you are doing (including private one-on-ones) and what they can do to improve. -Product seems to be heading in a good direction. -Competitive pay and benefits. -Full-Remote work, Hybrid work, or full in-office can be options! -Willing to explore new tech stacks if they are a good use case. -Transparency on company goals and direction, company gathers together often to make sure everyone is on track. -Research time is respected! Engineers are encouraged to spend time researching solutions to difficult/complex problems, rather than bunch research and development into a single ticket in some cases. There's also a few designated days a month you are allowed to research any topic (related or unrelated to the company) that interests you no-frills on your own. -Company Lunches -Flexible Schedule, Relaxed Office

Cons

-Smaller team, expect to occasionally reach out of your specialties to accomplish tasks. -I know the team is small, but it would be nice to have greater diversity and a diversity program.

Pros

- Competitive salary and benefits - Remote work flexibility - Hard-working "lower level" employees

Cons

- Leadership is not transparent on company goals and plans - Job stability does not exist, despite continual promises by leadership - Leadership is not open-minded to ideas from others and only uses their personal relationships/people for most contracted positions - Overall lack of interest to make any steps to improve the company experience - Leadership has displayed negativity towards employees who choose, or are asked, to leave the company - Culture does not honor work/life balance (ie. leaders will request items on a holidays or weekends) - Lack of diversity among company employees - Leadership has little interest in understanding company's customer base of farmers and has voiced negative opinions/stereotypes about customer base - Majority of employees (prior to new CEO) are no longer with the company, therefore there is a large lack of knowledge of legacy company product - Leadership has been known to speak poorly about employees regarding non-performance related items - Leadership overspends on items not relevant to company size and needs - Due to continual personnel changes, employees are overworked and feel uneasy about their own positions - Do not consider working here!
