Booker reviews

The pay is awful. You can get paid double in virtually any position at another start-up. The product is horrendous. Constantly broken. Tech debt is crippling and no one is interested in fixing it. The product team is filled with self-important jerks (even more than normal product teams) who have no interest in actually improving the experience for the customer. The tech talent is pathetic- there are virtually no talented programmers on the team. It's a cliquey frat-house type of environment. There is obvious favoritism on the part of certain managers. There are almost none of the "start-up perks" left. Did I mention that the product is awful? Quarterly releases should come with a xanax for every person at the company.

They have started to shift their operations to AZ and Pennsylvania, so maybe it's nice there. But in New York, it's miserable. People are dropping like flies and MGMT does not care at all. I feel a tad exploited knowing that I have worked so hard for so little compensation, thinking that this company will one day be successful. MGMT has made a series of blunders and failed aspirations in the last 10 months, and their lack of action and accountability has made Booker a terrible place to work. Morale is at an all time low, and I don't see any future in this company. There are definitely some delusions of grandeur, and you'd think that management would care a bit more to have a foundation of knowledgeable employees to support the software, but this is not the case. You are supposed to work from 9-6 with a BS unpaid hour for lunch. The pay is absolutely terrible. Customer Success employees make so little, and therefore cannot live anywhere close to the office due to the ridiculous cost of living. If you count your hour commute into your workday, you are working 11-hour days with measly compensation.
