Grabr Reviews

I’ve worked for Grabr for a few years now and I can literally say that working here changed my life. It might seem a bit extreme, but it actually has. And I’ll explain why. Growth within: I started as an intern and I managed to be promoted several times throughout the years. Since the very beginning I always felt I was heard and valued. I had access to every possible resource we had and had the liberty to develop myself as much as I wanted. You can speak freely and know you will be heard. You can join any discussion or meeting you are interested in, even if you don’t want to participate. You can just watch and listen to the people who surround you and learn a great deal from them. I’ve seen other colleagues go from internships to management roles as well, not only myself . But of course, don’t take anything for granted. The vision: The founders have always led the team towards whatever was needed to help the company grow while keeping our values and vision of the company. I think one of the biggest pros of working at Grabr is that you are working to build something that will really IMPACT the world and help millions of people around the globe get what they need, even if they didn’t have access to it in the past, while helping travelers save money on their trips by connecting these 2 entities and letting the magic happen. Results-oriented: Grabr is a data-driven company that will value you for your results, meaning you can easily find your balance between your personal and professional life as long as you prove yourself to be committed and bring results and effort to the table. Again, nothing is taken for granted but if you deliver, you will get rewarded.

I'll start this review by stating I'm a full-time employee with Grabr at their NY office. Looking at many of the reviews, it looks like many of the reviews are from users of the platform, rather than employees. This review is to give the experience of a full-time office employee at Grabr. 1. You will learn a lot Building a marketplace (where you have two sets of customers: supply-side and demand-side) is already known to be one of the hardest businesses to successfully start. As Grabr is very international for such a small company, you are adding to the marketplace experience a number of factors: multiple languages, global markets with varying product demands, different financial and tax systems from all over the world, very specific geographical customer matching from thousands of cities around the world and much more. And that's just the core business. Grabr is revolutionizing more than just the travel industry with a number of products outside of its core marketplace. I'm proud of how much I've learned from my time at Grabr. The fast-paced nature of the business and strong support from the leadership team really allows team members to learn and grow very quickly and efficiently. Some of our past interns started at Grabr with zero experience in the team they interned with as part of a learning experience. Two months later, they were able to join some of the largest companies in the industry, without having had prior experience to their internship. I've really never experienced a company that can teach so much, so effectively. 2. The people If the company culture and your teammates at a company are not good, it doesn’t matter what other pros there are at the company. It’s not a company one should work at. I’m proud to say that Grabr has a great team. Never before have I worked with such a close team. It's unique that Grabr is a relatively small company and so spread out (we have a number of offices around the world), yet somehow so connected. A lot of communication between offices is done via web conference, but we've had plenty of opportunities to travel to different offices and meet the worldwide team. The team is very open and we encourage discussion and transparency. It’s very easy to bring up any concerns with your teammates, your manager, the cofounders or even in front of the entire company during an all-hands meeting. The leadership team truly cares about their employees and it really feels like Grabr puts its employees as its number one priority. 3. Work/Life balance We work hard to fulfill our mission, but we also have a very good work/life balance. I've been in the startup world for years and Grabr has had the best work/life balance. Part of it is achieved by the fact that we have a very strong team that has allowed efficient processes to be developed over the years. We get more done in fewer hours than most startups with unstructured processes. Part of it is achieved due to the respect that the company has for its employees.
