Rows is offering an alternative spreadsheet option for businesses, with the added benefit of integration with third party APIs. This allows companies to easily draw data from the likes of Stripe, Google Analytics, Amazon, and Twitter.
Rows has made no secret of its aim to unseat Microsoft and Google at the top of the spreadsheet tree with a more up to date, flexible product. In fact, the startup hit the headlines when it paid for two billboards close to the headquarters of each tech giant, which jokingly ridiculed their offerings.
While overtaking the legacy players would no doubt prove tough, particularly given their habit of acquiring competitors, Rows has managed to secure a lot of funding, and won some high-level customers from the likes of Takeaway.com, foodpanda, and Pitch.

Rows have great managers who do not measure efforts to make everyone feel heard. My manager always asks important questions and doesn't give up until I feel comfortable.

Rows is a very disruptive product with exciting challenges to solve every day. It's definitely a product that has so much potential to make a huge difference as a low/no-code platform.

It's possible to work 4-days per week (with salary adjustments). If needed, we can be off for hours to help family members. Bad days come to everyone and the team is super flexible and helpful in finding ways to help us make the best out of this situations

THere's a nice yearly learning budget and we are challenges by our managers to take some time to tackle issues, find bold solutions and study new tachnologies. In addition, we have regular hackathons which are always great opportunities to learn and share cool things

There is a clear career progression path and your manager helps you define goals to achieve, outlining your strengths and weaknesses to work on, to improve your career.

There is an all hands meeting every month where the product goals and finances are shown, as well a the next quarter objectives, with Q&A. The founders, managers and HR are very accessible and if there is any concern you, you can talk openly about it.

I've reported A LOT of bugs during my time working for multiple different companies but what I got to learn at Rows will stay with me forever. We report issues in the Given-When-Then scenario but I also got to learn a step more there with "bug minification" which just has transformed my life now.

People here are super kind and accommodating. They're not dismissive of your opinions/thoughts — even when it doesn't always align with what their own thinking is or with the overarching company goals. They never shut down any conversation but rather try and see how to best get it to a meaningful conclusion.

Nice people

While not everyone would be happy all the time, with every single decision, its more important to have an avenue to voice any/all thoughts you may have either about the product, general growth, company culture, leadership etc. and at Rows you get to express it all.

Working at Rows is very challenging and rewarding since you're getting deep into technology. Having implemented charts in Rows as well as re-working the grid technology has pushed myself to levels I didn't imagine I would achieve.

Challenging work
Oct 2022
Rows is undoubtedly very flexible with working hours. As long as you fulfill your expectations, you can work on a flexible schedule. In engineering, we don't have many meetings -- and when we do, they're concentrated on Mondays and Fridays --, which makes this achievable.

Rows is aware of its comparison to other companies and benchmarks. I've received a raise shortly after joining because a benchmark showed that Rows wasn't paying as well as it wants to.

Fair compensation

I've been working at Rows for the last 2 years, and I must say I couldn't be happier. I'm working in a team where our mission is related to the performance and reliability of our platform. The work is super challenging every single day. However, with our senior team, the work is easier to do and you get to learn something new every day.

One of the first things we learn at Rows is about the team's autonomy. Each team has a mission and all the work done by each team should be a step in the right direction toward this mission. All the teams are autonomous to pick and deliver the work they think will cause the greatest impact on customers and therefore on their missions.
Software Engineering
Autonomy
Oct 2022
The team is composed of super senior people. This alone is something very important that allows the teams to be autonomous. However, there is another positive aspect about this: by having the opportunity to work with really smart people every day, you manage to learn something new, constantly. This is something that really motivates me.
