Pros

The advantages of working here are great. They really seem to care about you as a person and do everything they can to help you succeed. On busy months we'll get food vendors coming in to serve lunch for free and on any given day there's fresh fruit and vegetables in the break room. If you're effective at doing your job, you will move up.

Cons

There are this many cons to working here: there is no cons. There are this many cons to working here: there is no cons.

Pros

Work from home is an option, flexible schedule, and great people to work with.

Cons

Company seems to make a lot of knee-jerk reactions, which can be disconcerting at times.

Pros

If you want the experience or environment of working in a Bay Area-style tech company, one without the risk of failure you get with startup companies, Build.com is a perfect fit. Signs such as "Work Hard Play Hard", "No Good Comes From Hitting 'Reply-All'" and "If It's Really Funny, It's Probably Harassment" adorn the walls. The dress and the atmosphere are casual, the culture is young and dynamic, and the default expectation is growth.

Cons

Compensation is not what it would be in a larger city, though cost of living for Chico is commensurately lower as well. Rapid change can sometimes outpace the ability of the company to keep up with it. The first couple times the CEO walks by swearing and threatening to fire people can be unnerving.
