Pros

> The mission is noble and it’s a high growth industry > The people are nice > Salary and benefits comparable (though note growth is not)

Cons

> The company feels like a very early stage San Francisco startup in every way > Lackluster management and leadership, due to a lack of experience and clear direction > Ever changing and unfocused company strategy. Are you resale as a service? Software as a service? > Tons of “cross-collaboration” aka internal meetings where nothing gets done or decided. Great if you enjoy spending most of your day on camera-on calls. > High attrition rate at all levels. I highly encourage you to reach out to past employees if you’re applying for a role.

Pros

There are none- see the cons.

Cons

Trove loves to talk about “scaling” and “expanding,” which is hilarious when you see the reality: women in leadership running petty corporate fiefdoms, guarding their turf like medieval nobles, and reacting to fresh ideas like someone just unplugged their ring light. Want to impress here? Don’t innovate — that’s threatening. Instead, perfect the art of logging 5-minute billable increments for reading client emails (yes, reading), because that’s apparently the pinnacle of value. Training? Onboarding? Ha! You’ll get about as much of that as a plumber gets applause for showing up on time. Which, speaking of — expect to spend a shocking amount of your “strategic” lifestyle career chasing plumbing appointments in a shared folder. This is framed as high-level client service. It’s not. If your dream job is to tiptoe around insecure managers while pretending bureaucratic micromanagement is “leadership,” you’ll fit right in. If not — save yourself the headache and the stopwatch.
