Great place to start off!

Pros

booj is great for people just starting off in their professional life! They often hire junior level employees, allowing them to learn and grow at the company. There is a lot of room for growth and expansion that wouldn't be present at larger companies. Being a start-up, employees have a lot of power to give feedback, and often dictate new processes and products. The people are great, and you make really fast friends with the people you work with. The culture is also fun, especially if you like playing games like pingpong and pool. There are also fun outings that are organized for the employees. booj really prides itself in letting you have a life outside of work.

Cons

Because booj hires so many junior level employees there is a larger learning curve, which can slow down processes and projects. It also means that more training is necessary, but I see many people leave/get fired because of a lack of training. Certain positions are "thrown to the wolves" and then fired quickly if they can't keep up, which I don't think is fair because I know that with a little extra training, they would last a long time at booj.

Pros

- Can bring your whole self to work - Some great individuals

Cons

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.

Booj is not for everyone

Pros

You can get away with whatever you want as long as you have a positive attitude including consuming copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. If you just graduated college and have no professional experience this is the job for you.

Cons

There is absolutely no organizational structure or Software workflow cycle. For a technology company that prides itself on culture, it's a culture of absolute chaos. Too much finger pointing and lack of concern from management.

I certainly agree that Booj is not for everyone. For individuals that see problems as opportunities, for the ones that think outside the box, for the ones who are looking to make a difference in this world, this is the ideal place to work. I hope you have found a place that fits your needs. Good luck in the direction you choose to pursue.
