Never a dull moment.

Pros

There's no one way to review Build.com because it's an amalgamation of people, departments, and cultures. You need to know about the area you want to work. If you interview, ask all the questions, we're not shy. We'll tell you the truth. Build.com is not one thing, but we are more than the sum of our parts. The overwhelming majority of people here are filled with passion for the job, whatever job they're doing, and the people I work with have a strong sense of pride about what they do and how they do it. It's cliché, but you do get out of this job what you put in. Expectations are high across the board and most folks start with themselves. I've greatly enjoyed my years here and I'm looking forward to however many years I have left. I know the work will stay exciting, because there's never a dull moment.

Cons

As a small company grows into a large company, it gets hard to adjust your mental approach to the new responsibilities. The past is the past and the good old days maybe weren't always so good. There are times when something akin to culture strife rises up, but in general it's dealt with in an appropriate manner.

A great review as well as great advice. Its hard when you are growing quickly, and we have a culture of process being "icky" so we're very considered when we have to create any. Thank you for your feedback, duly noted!

Pros

This may be the best opportunity for productive sales people looking to establish a career. Tons of reps have been promoted over the past year. The vast majority of reps are successful and stay at Build for a very long time. Pay is very good with unlimited opportunity for growth. Build embraces the work hard, play hard mentality. They are always cooking up something fun for everyone.

Cons

If you're not truly motivated, this isn't going to be the place for you. They will remove slugs, which is only a con if you happen to be one.
