Pros

The people. To be clear, individual contributors, nobody in management or leadership.

Cons

I'm relieved there's no character limit, so let's dive in. Unfortunately, the core values of this company seem questionable at best. 'Embrace the Pace' appears to signify a lack of direction, urging employees to simply work without questioning. 'Focus on the Customer' seems more like a show, as decisions are driven by revenue, not customer benefit. Hiring outside VPs in a panic to try and fix mistakes led to a mismatch with the construction industry and their past experience. Their past success relied on sheer numbers, selling software to as many customers as possible despite having one of the worst churn rates in SaaS. Revenue and Sales clearly don't communicate with each other. With cheaper, more user-friendly competitors out there now, the company should prioritize retaining its current user base instead of focusing on how to make more money. The CEO's emphasis on 'trust, transparency, and communication' turned out to be mere buzzwords. A 16% layoff was announced via email on a Monday night, raising doubts about these values. Rumors of another layoff prompted my departure last year. To current employees: consider seeking new opportunities and jump ship.

Pros

This department is great. Everyone I work with is knowledgeable and self-sufficient. We are trusted to get our work done and there is a lot of flexibility. Pay is decent. I have had some bad jobs in accounting/finance and this is probably my favorite job I have had.

Cons

Other departments seem to have their own issues. We are siloed from those issues so I can't speak to them.

Pros

None, a bunch of frat bros who put you down any chance they get.

Cons

I worked here for over two years, and it was a frustrating and, at times, uncomfortable professional experience. I often felt that my contributions were overlooked, and it was difficult to feel fully respected or included in conversations and decision-making. The workplace culture was one of the biggest challenges. I regularly observed gossip and unprofessional communication, and advancement did not appear to follow a clear, performance-based structure. From what I experienced, promotions seemed more closely tied to internal relationships than to measurable results, which made growth feel uncertain and inconsistent. There were also moments that I found inappropriate in a professional setting. I personally overheard a manager make a comment about wanting someone on a team based on appearance, which raised concerns for me about workplace standards. In addition, repeated day-to-day interactions sometimes felt dismissive or discouraging, and over time that created a work environment that was difficult to feel comfortable in. Leadership often felt disconnected from the day-to-day employee experience, and expectations around performance and quotas were, in my experience, difficult to meet in a sustainable way. This added pressure without a clear sense of support or alignment. This reflects my personal experience, but I would strongly encourage anyone considering a role here to ask detailed questions about team culture, communication style, and growth opportunities to determine if it aligns with what they’re looking for.
