      Shiny exterior, rotting interior

      Pros

      Break room activities (foosball, darts, ping pong, video games), perks (free coffee, fruit, sometimes meals, and parties), some of the people are great too.

      Cons

      Rampant nepotism, worse than any other company I've worked at. Job postings that try to be cool, but really make the company look like a joke. Non-competitive wages, even for the area, especially when you factor in the lack of raises given out. Also I'd like to point out that even though they tout the whole "promotions from within" thing, 3 of the newest executives have come from outside of the company.

      I'm sorry you had such a bad experience here, I hope that you find meaningful employment elsewhere.

      Build.com is a very young minded company that tries to stay on the edge of technology, as well as public communication, so we can understand the feeling of it being considered a "college-like" environment. In regards to getting rid of people who disagree, its not that they are fired or let go because of their beliefs are different, its the fact that we have standards and expectations to withhold so the company can keep growing. Every employee's opinion is considered if presented in the correct manner, and if it is not in the best interest of the company then it will be addressed as necessary. Our CEO is a little eccentric in his ways of announcing his presents, but it is an attempt to keep the atmosphere of the company up beat and sales oriented. It is offensive to some, but we are metrics driven company and always strive to push the limits. Some times lines are crossed but That is how we learn and grown as a company. We make mistakes then learn from them.

      Salary a little low.

      Pros

      Build has a great atmosphere and most of the employees contribute to making a better product; customer experience. I was fortunate that I worked in a wonderful team, where everyone helped each other improve professionally.

      Cons

      It's corporate in the sense that the founder sold the company and the bottom line is just that. Raises weren't offered because of under-performance of sales, which isn't necessarily the fault of the staff. And, if you want to get ahead, buy into the culture. All that said, because of the limited options in the ratings, I do approve of the CEO and would recommend it as a possible employer. If nothing else, you'll gain some good experience.
