      Pros

      - Company culture is fantastic. They understand that happy employees produce better results, so GP focuses heavily on work / life balance. - Most agencies will pile as many clients as they can on their account managers; GP won't ever give you more than 3. Most have 2. - Vast majority of clients are modern tech-minded companies; it's easy to speak to them about strategy. - Strong sense of teamwork; you feel like your co-workers have your back - GP uses advanced techniques and proven processes for account management, so even someone who's been doing SEM for years will find plenty of new strategies and skills to learn. This is a great company for building your career up. - Management actually listens and cares about how you're doing, and welcomes feedback on how they can improve. There's an overall sense of, "How can we be the best in everything we're doing?" at this company, which is very refreshing. - HR (AKA People Ops) actually genuinely cares for you and your needs. - Tons of perks, such as: - Account managers get an analyst to help assist them on accounts - Monday breakfast stipend - Friday lunch stipend - Quarterly team outings - Commuter stipend - Learning stipend - Your own laptop - Work from home Wednesdays - Flexible Time Off! (no traditional vacation or sick leave time) - Competitive salary - Company-covered health benefits - Opportunities for quarterly bonuses - High bonus if you refer a new employee

      Cons

      - It can sometimes feel like the bar is set very high; all of the above perks must be earned with great time management, deep understanding of your accounts, and constantly pushing the envelope for yourself as well as your clients. Understand, though, that literally everyone at the company has your best interests in mind, including your managers. They are open to feedback and will actually listen to you. - This job is fast-paced, and there's no room to slack. I don't view this as a con, personally, but some might. If you want a job where you can coast, this is not the job for you! - Paychecks come once per month. This isn't that bad, it just requires some getting used to. - Travel costs are typically paid up front by you, and reimbursed later, rather than covered by the company initially. The silver lining of this is you get to accrue frequent flyer miles and points for your credit card! - Reporting is still very manual and time consuming. - This is a Mac-oriented company, so you may need to adjust to this if you're a Windows user like I am.

      Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review! First of all, being recognized for caring about employees and their needs might just be the highlight of my week! Through my own experience, I’ve learned employees are the most important aspect of a company. Without them, a company will not succeed. Beyond that, you don’t just need employees… you need HAPPY employees. The policies, benefits and perks we’ve implemented are to ensure employees are able to maintain a healthy work/life balance and be the best version of themselves! Second, feedback is one of the most important things at Growth Pilots. We’re constantly looking for ways to evolve our feedback loop (if you have any improvements, let us know!) and want to ensure we’re as receptive to employee feedback as we hope employees are to ours. Doing so fosters a comfortable work environment where employees feel empowered to speak up. You don’t find this at every company. Third, do we have high standards for our team? Absolutely. Do we set the bar high? 100%. While some may look at these as cons, I actually consider them pros. Personally, it makes me push myself further than I have before. Over the past year, I’ve learned, grown and developed in ways I never knew I could. Take it as a blessing in disguise and you will do wonderful things during your time at Growth Pilots and beyond 🙂 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. If you have any additional feedback or ideas, don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at stephanie@growthpilots.com. All the best, Stephanie People Operations Manager
