Pros

The regular every day workers are nice. Once a week in the office.

Cons

Recently they let go of a lot of women specifically. Some left on their own because of too much stress. One of them commented how the higher-ups are snakes, which is a nice way of putting it. They hire, just to fire and say they are growing and show their employees they're growing, and then suddenly employees disappear and you hear they've been let go. They work their employees to the bone, but claim to have a good work-life balance, which is non-existent, because the CEO has impossible standards and admits it himself, setting benchmarks that don't make sense and expecting employees to meet t hem regardless of whether it's possible. He believes everything he says is gold and is not a plesant person to work with unless you just smile and nod at his wishes. HR only communicates and complies with the wishes of the leaders, leaving employees to feel unimportant and unsupported. They promote the higher-ups but don't show any gratitude to the employees who do the day-to-day work. There is very little employee engagement and welfare and the culture is just work, work, work, work eith no perks you would find at a typical (what they're claiming as a successful) startup in this day and age.

As in any growing start-up company, there is turnover for performance, personal and other reasons. Growthspace is proud to have 40% women in our entire employee base. Even better, almost 60% of our senior management are women. One of our key values is GROWTH and we're proud to support our employees in their growth journey, as well as our customers. We also provide all our employees growth sprints and are open to providing them to employees who have moved on as well. We're sorry that this was your experience departing the company and we'd be happy to have an open and candid conversation with you to learn more going forward.

Pros

Good hourly pay in comparison to other large-scale companies that provide 1:1 coaching; well-matched coach to coachees, organized communication from management to coaches; coachees are engaged, offers flexibility of schedule and location, rewarding work

Cons

Low frequency of matches - some months I am busy and other months there are no notifications of matches; I wish I could have a more regular schedule of coachees. Sometimes difficult scheduling sessions with coachees, they can fail to communicate outside of sessions and there is no other way of contacting them outside of email, unless they offer other forms of contact.
