Pros

Get lots of experience immediately handling (or helping with) accounts Nice people always willing to help Only have to handle 2-4 clients, so you're not worked to death 40 hour work week for the most part (I've heard horror stories from other agencies) Work atmosphere that encourages testing and experimenting with new features Snacks, drinks, beer and rose on tap

Cons

Need to streamline processes (transitioning accounts especially) Working on streamlining how accounts are managed by Account Managers. It can be very ad hoc. Developing a better training system for new hires, especially analysts

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback! During my own interview process at Growth Pilots, I was also pleasantly surprised to hear that individual team members only worked on 2-4 accounts and weren’t exceeding bandwidth 🙂 As someone who puts employees first, this was a huge selling point for me! During the past year and a half, our company has transformed itself in regards to People Ops policies and processes. While this has been a main focus for myself since joining the team, I’m thrilled to say the entire Management team came together earlier this month to determine additional processes needed across the company. We’re working to build these out for everything from hiring to on-boarding to client calls to budgeting. We had our initial kick-off with client calls and it’s already had a major impact on the team. When the rest of these processes are finalized and rolled out, I believe we’ll see some major improvements when it comes to training new hires, account management and more. If you have any further feedback to share, please don't hesitate to email me directly at stephanie@growthpilots.com. All the best, Stephanie People Operations Manager

Pros

- The most amazing coworkers + a management team that doesn't mind getting their hands dirty! - CULTURE! (fun, collaborative, engaging) - Super transparent at all levels of the organization (communication is key at GP) - Feedback oriented (there's no shortage of feedback given from employees + management) - 100% employer paid Medical Benefits (with Dental + Vision being rolled out in April) - Flexible PTO (and you're actually encouraged to use it!) - WFH Wednesday's (yes, please!) - Quarterly Bonuses (always a pleasant surprise) - Commuter Benefits ($100/month) - Learning + Development Stipend ($300/quarter per employee to attend seminars, webinars, trainings, etc.) - Breakfast Burrito Monday's (we're on a mission to find the best breakfast burrito in SF) - Friday Team Lunch (we currently order through Caviar and get to choose exactly what we want for lunch) - Quarterly team outings (Napa Trips, Boat Rides in the Bay + Bowling to name a few) - Close to Montgomery BART Station (love the easy commute)

Cons

- There is never a shortage of work so the days can get long (but they sure go by fast!) - With any company scaling, there can be growing pains. However, the Management team is being proactive about this and taking employee feedback into consideration along the way.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review! We appreciate hearing about your experience and are glad to learn that you enjoy working with your team members and our unique work perks. We care very deeply for our employees and like to provide fun benefits like Friday team lunches, in-office happy hours and quarterly events. Just as you said, focusing on employee morale and happiness will pay off in the long run! We are growing quickly which presents its challenges. We are dedicated to always improving the areas where we have gaps and look forward to implementing more changes over the coming year to make Growth Pilots an even better place to work.
