Come back later - Anonymous employee Lettuce Grow Employee Review

I have found everyone at the company to be positive, collaborative, and capable. People are willing to help each other across departments, and everyone seems to be well-aligned with the mission of the business. I also think the product is really good, which makes it easier to go to work every day. It's a high-growth startup, so there's a lot of opportunity for career development, rising in the ranks, and broadening one's skillset. The company has a mission to promote sustainability and works to live that mission in every way it can.

It's a high-growth startup, which naturally comes with challenges as the business develops and expands. There is a lot of work to be done, but in general the company does promote and respect a work-life balance.

I joined Lettuce Grow for the potential positive impact that the product could have on revolutionizing local food systems. Unfortunately, due to the horrible work culture, I don't see Lettuce Grow being successful in that mission.

Unsupportive Oftentimes roles at Lettuce Grow are not structured for success. Roles are not clearly defined, not given the authority they need to be effective, and are not respected the way they should be. I noticed women and employees with agricultural/horticultural backgrounds especially had to deal with this the most. Numerous "legacy" employees and team structures that existed from the company's inception as well as new "tech bro" hires aided in this unsupportive environment that made it nearly impossible to grow and succeed there. Unsustainable The company has a great product that can aid customers in living more sustainably, however, corporate sustainability and environmental justice was never talked about. There were no ESG or CSR programs and when it came to new ideas to improve the sustainability of company operations, they were not heard. In this way, LG is just another "sustainability tech" company that stops with a sustainable product and doesn't take responsibility for other inefficient operations and business environmental impacts. Toxic work culture I experienced incredibly unprofessional behavior like finger pointing, calling people out in meetings, and non-transparent decision making. Hiring decisions were made without consulting individual teams, changes to processes and operations happened at whim with little explanation, and there was little to no collaboration across teams. They offer unlimited PTO but vacations are not respected. COVID protocols in the office were not followed or enforced by leadership making time in the office and team get-togethers stressful and unsafe.
