It's a scam

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It's good money for doing very little, if you can tolerate the OCD of the "chief business architect," you're golden. It's in Irvine, so if you live close, it's a short commute. They have free lunch on Friday. You make great friends because everyone is bonded together because of the crazy founder's ridiculousness.

Cons

You're chasing a moving target. Your skills and abilities are dismissed. It's run like a crappy family business. The founder is a hard-core trump supporter so that tells you where he is ethically. I predict that someone will end up getting sued or worse. It's not a startup, it's a decade-long scam.

Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review! We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are glad to learn that you enjoy working with your team members. We care very deeply for our employees and like to provide fun extras. Our concern lies with your unfounded comment about out ethics and morals as a company, and the diligence of our teammates. We take questions regarding our business integrity extremely seriously and will openly answer any specific concerns in this regard. Our team members are highly skilled and are producing ever increasing output which would be the envy of most employers. And we haven’t been around for a decade. We were formed in 2012. Again, I don’t describe such details to discredit your viewpoint, but I would certainly love to get some grounded specifics sent to me if you have them. I’m at grant@buyitinstalled.com.

I Don't Buy It......

Pros

With the exception of a few the team is great!

Cons

The only thing they are in the business of "installing" is executives into high powered positions in the hopes of legitimizing what seems to be Orange County's latest technology start up scam and then preventing them from actually executing a smart business idea. Your work product is literally thrown into the garbage and then reassigned to the next person to inevitably be thrown into the garbage again. The turnover rate is so high that new employees are unaware that the projects they have been assigned have been circulated through the company multiple times with no result or progress. Changing your title, responsibilities, and even the company name are almost a daily occurrence. As soon as you think you are moving in a forward direction everything is reorganized and you have to basically start from scratch.

Unhealthy Environment

Pros

Employees are incredibly smart subject matter experts

Cons

Founder has created a fear-based environment where restructuring is a weekly occurrence, the rules are suffocating and mean, and subject matter experts are disempowered. Todd, the founder, believes he is the subject matter expert in marketing, human resources, sales, finance, legal, leadership and software development, so while he hires SME's he refuses to allow them to do their jobs because he knows better. This is a start up that is going nowhere, and a very unhealthy environment. If you decide to check it out, request a copy of the employee manual before signing on...
