Great Company to work for - Anonymous employee myAgro Employee Review

The organization attracts and hires employees who are very talented and kind, who take the mission to heart, and I am so grateful to have such a positive and inspiring work environment. The work is challenging, and as we are growing, there are always new challenges. All myAgro employees are given the opportunity to grow through a professional development plan that is supported by their manager. I have seen colleagues promoted and or even move to a different department based on acquiring new skills. As a remote employee, I cherish the annual trips to West Africa to connect in person with teammates and visit the field to see our mission in action.

The organization culture values results, sometimes at the cost of building sustainable systems. This "just get it done" attitude can be frustrating and counter-productive to building a scalable model. I have read negative reviews on this site about our founder. Personally, I find her to be ambitious, brilliant, inspiring and charming. With that ambition, she can come off as demanding, and those working for her as a direct report should be confident in challenging her ideas and sometimes saying "no".

Fully remote work environment which is a plus for work-life balance

My experience at Myargro was overwhelmingly negative. The company’s poor working conditions and ineffective management created a stressful and demoralizing environment. Although a few colleagues were genuinely nice to work with, the overall culture was one of overwork and underappreciation. Managers who were more focused on advancing their own careers than supporting their teams made life especially difficult. In the development department, rapid turnover was the norm rather than the exception, further destabilizing the work environment. Sadly, benefits were practically nonexistent, and any promises of improvement seemed hollow. I cannot recommend working at Myargro.
