Pros

Limited free snacks, a few friendly people, well-intentioned company gatherings.

Cons

Big hiring wave followed by new CEO who is a hatchet-man. Minorities not hired here. Women are at a disadvantage, with skill and input either being dismissed or outwardly mocked in meetings. Of the most recent layoff--majority were women. Very much a "good old boys" club enviorment. Bloated promotions without education or skill set--it's who you know, not what you know. I started working here under the founder. It was a different company and environment then--very collaborative and more of a family. Progressively poorer and poorer management created silos among departments. Management is also divisive--pitting department against department and playing "good cop/bad cop." It's really sad to see a company tank so spectacularly and so quickly. I would never recommend working here and am actively looking take my educational and specialized skills and jump ship, as are many.

Pros

There are some good people

Cons

Another mass lay off recently left many without jobs because the execs and Riverside, the private equity company that owns Safebuilt, are trying to pretty this financial pig up to ready themselves for sale. Poor management and self interest have left this company in serious trouble. The layoff might have been a blessing in disguise for many. If you’re thinking about joining the company, proceed with caution. The advice if you’re still with the company or were recently hired, watch your back. A year after coming in as CEO Brad Mundt has helped drive this company into the ground, both financially and culturally. The perception is that he and some of the other execs like COO Matt Royer are simply waiting for Riverside to sell the company so they can get their huge payouts and move on, leaving the company they ruined and the employees and their families in the wake. Their business decisions are clearly short sighted, creating risk for the long term prospects of the company, impacting relationships with current clients, damaging the company’s reputation, and completely losing the respect and trust of the employees. People want to proud (or at least not ashamed) of where they work. People want to have a basic level of trust and respect in their leaders, and they want it in return. Right now this is not that place.

Company is in bad shape financial Management isn't honest with employees about what is happening Company promises everything to customers and then just expects employees to figure out how to deliver a miracle It's all about the numbers and making the impossible numbers Constant change in direction and priority Poor communication including misrepresentation to employees Constant politics and land grabs by upper management - constant change in the players Hard to tell who is in charge and which directions to follow
