Oversold

Pros

Nice offices, free coffee, some parking. True of most companies - you find some really great people to work with.

Cons

There's a very toxic undercurrent amongst staff relating to the treatment of customers and staff, and the general management of the company. The projection of Autogrow's values are just at complete odds with how the company considers internal and external stakeholders. There's a major disconnect between what Autogrow wants to be and what it currently is - this creates poor customer experiences and a tension between customer-facing and internal teams. Very limited management and very little transparency around direction. There is no documentation of process and extremely limited communication between core departments (product to customer-facing teams) which makes customer/partner relationships difficult to maintain (resulting in churn) and new technology impossible to sell. I genuinely pity people who get the wonderful spiel about changing the world of food production, feeding the world etc only to realise that they've been oversold to. A very disappointing experience.

In response to your feedback, we agree that the period over 2018 - 2019 was a challenging one. In fact, shifting direction of the company towards the vision was much harder and took longer than we anticipated. Thankfully, we can say we've got there in the end. There's no question that establishing the senior leadership team in late 2019 has made all the difference.

Thank you for the positive feedback. Picking up on your point around the balance between the old products and the new, I trust that our more recent changes have addressed this.

Pros

There really is a sense that we're better as a team. Structure is flat and everyone is encouraged to take responsibility for their area of expertise. There's plenty of opportunity to be challenged and grow as a person and in your career. Relationships extend beyond roles into organised and spontaneous social events. Team members take an interest in you personally and there are always conversations about what projects or adventures were tackled over the previous weekend or break.

Cons

The nature of the vision and the area of the industry focused on, means that things move quickly. The leadership does their best to ensure switching from one thing to the next is minimised but some flexibility is required.
