Pros

Working on the beach is amazing! 99% of the people who work here are genuinely good people.

Cons

There hasn't been an original line of code written at Procore since about 2012. The big challenge here is scaling the core Ruby on Rails application from a few hundred thousand users to a few million. I don't know when it happened, but at some point all of our developers became exclusively reliant on copying code from Stack Overflow. I come across Voodoo Code all of time, and it's not legacy -- it's by design. I honestly don't think the engineering leadership here believes code can be valid unless it was written by someone else and up-voted 25 times. We've long since exceeded the boundaries of what Rails was intended for. We've gotten to a point where we're constantly recycling ideas that worked once-upon-a-time and applying them to out current situation with brute force. Procore looks like a start-up, smells life a start-up, and acts like a start-up. But joining has been the biggest mistake of my professional career. Creatively is actively stifled, new ideas are constantly maligned, and our CEO and President are 100% hands-off when it comes to development. Their trust is misplaced.

Pros

-Complete flexibility and autonomy; one of our core values is 'Ownership' and that is something I tangibly feel every day -Unlimited PTO and great benefits -An amazing team; I genuinely love everyone I work with on a daily basis -Great mission and product within a relatively stable/timeless industry (construction)

Cons

-Change is a constant - lots of leadership change over the past several years. I recognize this is not for everyone. However, I have a lot of faith in the new leadership team and the direction of the company.

Pros

Free lunch Tuesday through Thursday.

Cons

There is a huge reality issue between the Executives and the workerbees. Procore cannot scale its operations. New hires see this but leaders - especially ones that have been around since IPO- have zero ability to do anything or to understand the issues. Anyone working the deal operations knows that it’s one new motion away from complete month end chaos. The HR policies are stuck in some other generation. There are no team goals on which you are measured. There is no 360 where you can rate your manager. There is no leadership training or really any job training. There are no education benefits either.
