- Poor technical decision making from leadership. Grid made the decision to overly-rely on services from Synapse Financial Technologies, a company that later filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2024, as the backbone for a lot of their own financial offerings. When that company collapsed, Grid was left to rebuild their main product offerings using other 3rd party services.
- I didn't find the company isn't as terrible as many of the reviews say it is, but it's not great either. I can't recommend working here unless you don't have a better option. There's not a lot of real upside financially for employees.
- Refer to John Abbott vs. Hatfield (i.e. Grid). Grid had to pay $1 million in settlement money in a class action lawsuit for failing to disclose salary ranges on their job descriptions
- On-site 5 days / week
- If you work in the same office as the CEO, you are expected to be out in the open office space. This would be okay but the CEO likes to start random conversations during the workday instead of letting employees focus on their tasks. Bring noise-cancelling headphones
- The company is a small business with no clear exit plan and probably mounting pressure from investors for bigger returns.
- Employee turnover. Most of the folks that I had worked with aren't there anymore
