Cons

Exercise caution before considering this company, unless you are already affiliated with CyberGrants. The potential that this company once held is at risk of fading within the next 18 months due to questionable decisions made by the founders in their hiring practices. For those interested in entering this industry, I recommend exploring Hightouch instead. Hightouch has significantly distanced itself from competitors and appears to have a more promising trajectory. Unfortunately, this company's recent hires have been less than stellar. A former employee from CyberGrants was appointed a C-Level title to oversee the customer team, while a personal acquaintance of the founders was placed in charge of Sales. Consequently, the Sales department is in disarray, with most employees feeling demoralized. The only exception seems to be individuals with a prior CyberGrants background, who curiously receive preferential treatment and access to incoming leads. The fear of reprisal prevents anyone from voicing their concerns, given the frequent termination of employees who do so. Furthermore, another individual from CyberGrants was brought on board to help with the sales processes. Unfortunately, their presence is met with resistance during collaborative calls. Their tendency to disable their camera and recite scripted responses creates an unconvincing image, contradicting the company's aspiration to be seen as industry thought leaders. Speaking out against these issues is tantamount to risking one's job security, as the prevailing atmosphere discourages dissent. The founders often tout an optimistic outlook, leaving uncertainty as to whether they are trying to reassure the workforce or themselves. It's worth noting that several positive reviews found here might not accurately reflect the company's current state. Allegations suggest that the company artificially inflated its ratings by soliciting positive feedback, so it's wise to approach such reviews with skepticism. Regrettably, the overall sentiment within the company appears to be one of dissatisfaction, unless you have a background with CyberGrants.

Hey, this is Chris, Co-Founder of GrowthLoop. I’m so sorry this was your experience at the company. This does not represent the type of company I’ve aimed to build over the past 5 years, and we can absolutely do better. And again, I’m sorry we didn’t do better for you. Now, all I can say is that we will take this feedback very seriously and make sure we improve for anyone else we are lucky enough to have join our organization. We strive to be a supportive and inclusive organization in everything we do so getting this right is of the utmost importance to me. Let me know if I can do anything personally to help you in future endeavors. Chris
