Fun Place, Some Great People, Horrible Pay

Pros

Booj is a really fun place to work. You can bring your dog if you have one. There are a lot of good, friendly, active people that work there. You can do whatever you want. This is good and bad. Sometimes it's good, but it can also be irritating to work with people who are stoned all day, including managers. Fun games such as table tennis, pool, foosball etc. Good place to work if you are just out of college and have few expenses, or if you are a marijuana enthusiast.

Cons

They seem to get rid of some good people, but will gladly keep others who are incompetent. There isn't much of an organizational structure, though there's a lot of talk about reorganization often (this can be good and bad). While there are some really great people, management seem oblivious to certain things, like the extremely low pay. They talk very proudly of the awards that they've won, they seem to think that it's a privilege to work at Booj, but they show a lot of favoritism and don't seem to mind that they pay far below market average. The biggest problem is definitely salary. A game room does not pay the bills. The company could hire much more qualified people, and improve the products drastically, if they were willing to pay an average salary (28k per year for a Project Manager is simply embarrassing). Managers are just those who have been there a long time (whether qualified or not).

As a young, growing company, we indeed struggle to pay the kind of wages that the Googles, Facebooks and other large technology companies are able to pay and who often set the industry average. There are no hidden facts; the wage and the first year's increments are agreed before any applicant accepts the job. All employees are encouraged to carve their own career path, and those who take initiative are often promoted. We often hire for junior positions and cultivate successful individuals to higher roles with more responsibility and higher pay. ` We continue to invest in our company culture and internal processes in order to provide an environment that our employees take pride in and want to be a part of. I hope you find something that fulfills your requirements better and I am sorry that we were not the ideal fit.

At booj hard work is recognized and your opinion matters

Pros

booj is still a small enough company that is not difficult to get to know your coworkers. Plus, everyone here is deeply passionate about the work they do that it is contagious. While there may be some late nights it is all worth it. Hard work does not go unrecognized here with managers and the partners alike. This is something that is often lacking in other organizations and it's nice to know you are appreciated. Beyond feeling appreciated, the management does care about everyone and are willing to work with you if you have personal/family issues to deal with. Another great thing about booj is that your opinion matters. It does not matter where you are in the company if you have a great idea you are encouraged to share it and people really listen.

Cons

The culture is very relaxed and while there are great bonuses that come with this (no dress code) there can be an adjustment period for those who come from a corporate background and may expect more structure.
