With the tag line “be original or jealous”, a promise of high moral values and a sense of purpose, booj seems like a great place to work.
But much like any other veneer, it comes off quickly.
- Drinking and smoking (420) are allowed IN THE OFFICE after 4:20pm. There would be meetings in the mornings where managers and/or employees would be hungover from drinking the night before.
- The office is kept dark with little to no natural light.
- Bed bugs have been present in the office causing it to close twice in the past 6 months.
- Speculating at the pieces in play with the RE/MAX acquisition, it would be unsurprising if booj dropped their past clients once the RE/MAX suite of tooling is complete. Which is the client base that booj needs most of their employees for.
For an engineer there is
- little to no documentation.
- tribal knowledge that's guarded
- a good ol' boys club culture
- you'll be asked to work weekends
- OK pay but probably just under par
There are some incredible individual employees and people at booj. However, this, unfortunately, doesn't translate into a company that is worth pouring your time into.
