Pros

Used to be a good place to work where leadership left us alone to do our jobs and provided support when needed. We enjoyed coming to work every day. Those days are gone.

Cons

New CEO Mark Johnson is tanking the company. Only cares about himself and his image. Other reviews said it perfect which is funny because leadership is digging hard to find out who wrote them. No one wants to be there anymore. No one respects Mark. He's bringing in all of his "friends" as talent and their just as bad as him.

Thanks for your feedback. Given that we're a small company, I encourage you to come and talk to me, especially since you've been here for such a long time. I'm sure you could help me learn about cultural elements of GrainBridge that we want to preserve. I'm really proud of the team over the past 6 months for rallying around a product release, which we finally achieved in mid-September. My goal at GrainBridge from the very beginning was to get our product into market so that we could get feedback, improve, and iterate. Thanks to the team for achieving that in a year of many changes. 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!
