Pros

- People are very mission-driven and genuinely some of the nicest people I've worked with - Our product is pretty interesting - Pay is decent for our size - Fully remote is nice

Cons

- Engineering infrastructure has not at all scaled with headcount, so be prepared for a massive monolith where every team is inter-dependent - Lack of leadership. Majority of management's time is spent in day-to-day process rather than big-picture vision, driving the org forward - CTO comes from a product background. For some people this is a pro, for many engineers this means product wins out and engineers are often encouraged to cut corners & accrue tech debt to ship quickly.

Pros

Grow Therapy has been a solid fit for me as a licensed therapist looking for flexibility without having to build everything from scratch. Scheduling is entirely in your hands, making it easy to balance with other work or life commitments. Access to free CEUs is a real perk I didn't fully appreciate until I started using it. As someone who has to maintain licensure hours, having that built in saves both money and the hassle of hunting down training on my own. That said, it's still a platform model, so if you go in expecting a traditional employer experience, you'll need to adjust your expectations. You're running your own caseload, which is great if that's what you want, and less ideal if you need a lot of structure or support. Overall, I'd recommend it to clinicians who are self-directed, want to ease into or expand a private practice, and value autonomy over hand-holding.

Cons

Referrals can be slow at times. Reimbursement rates can vary greatly depending on insurance.

Pros

Incredible work environment where our CEO and everyone else REALLY cares. It's a company that truly works together rather than having hierarchical egos in the room. I've never seen a place where people across every single position are willing to work directly with one another towards the same mission. The CEO and all founders are incredibly humble, personable and down to earth people. Leadership cares about their people, and it's shown through numerous stipends, mental health mornings/afternoons, but also just getting to know everyone on a personal level. I feel incredibly valued every day, and it makes me in it for the long haul. Grow therapy is one of (potentially the last) mental health tech companies that psychologically safe internally. It makes all the difference; it makes people want to come to work, want to work hard, want to keep going. Grow really gets the mission inside and out and for that I am so grateful.

Cons

None, seriously. This company is doing incredibly and gives me hope that a company can be values-driven, care about their people, AND make money. It doesn't have to be corruption and greed at all costs.
