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.

Leadership is a disaster

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great customers who care about the product Mostly flexible Some smart designers

Cons

So many... Leadership is just a bunch of friends watching one another's back. They're all micro-managers who give you no autonomy or trust. The design org is an absolute mess. No accountability and no growth leadership. Did a reorg only to manage many of the leads out of the company, Constantly doing quiet layoffs. They've let go of several designers over the last 6 months or so under the guise of poor performance. Some of the design managers have no idea what they're doing and are so prescriptive and give you no real feedback. You voice your concerns and you are reprimanded for it because they are all friends. It's lose lose. The design system is an absolute mess and they refuse to invest in fixing it. You'd think a company in the construction industry would understand the value of the foundation.

Pros

The people and culture here are really what makes it great. Compared to other companies I've worked for, Buildertrend has some of the best benefits and time off I've ever received.

Cons

Processes are still evolving, though there have been noticeable improvements. It’s also been a great opportunity to learn and grow.
