Pros

Pros: - Work from home Wednesday for the SF team

Cons

Cons: - You’re selling vaporware - the product doesn’t work as advertised - Management doesn’t care about you as a person, no professional development, no benefits, healthcare is poor, etc. They see you as a number on a spreadsheet - Management will promise you everything and tell you what you want to hear in order to hit a goal but will follow through maybe 20% of the time - They’ll make up and shift numbers around to hit goal at the end of the month (not honest) - Very sales-bro culture in SF - Inexperienced management in Poland, double whammy - Crowded space with no real differentiation - Interviewers lie to get people onboard

Pros

Growbots had an amazing pool of talented people. The success that Growbots has achieved in the past 12 months is due to the people more than the product, in my opinion.

Cons

As with any growing company, Growbots faced numerous challenges that should have been handled differently. It really comes down to the leadership, or lack there of. Despite efforts from the people, in the US at least, advice was not taken and challenges were not addressed until it was too late. On top of that, a lack of transparency from leadership ultimately led to a major lack of trust. And I think at that point, as a team we became invested in each other more than the organization itself. It was our goal to save each other, which it seems was never really possible. To sum it up, there is a lack of experience from the top down, that resulted in actions being more reactive instead of proactive. And in the end a lot of “Corporate Restructuring”.
