Pros

Compensation was competitive, but ultimately did not justify staying at a company that almost prided itself on being a corporate meat grinder.

Cons

The company drives out its best performers because its leadership team is rudderless, cutthroat, and arrogant. There is lip-service to a 'netflix-like' culture where they retain only high-performers, but a lot of the highest performers left of their own accord while I was there. The company has a core cadre of people who have been there since the beginning and they burn through any new hires with a pretty bizarre, toxic obsession with over-engineered KPIs, poor communication from leadership, and constantly shifting strategy that leaves different groups of the company looking to blame each other for failures constantly. Ridiculous unprofessional backstabbing behavior, total confusion on organizational priorities, and reckless lack of concern for clients is the rule, not the exception. I would legitimately caution anyone who doesn't have a concrete timeline and exit strategy from entertaining a stint here.

Pros

Hard problems. Smart people. We’re fixing real, challenging probelms in real estate. You learn fast, you’re trusted, and the work matters.

Cons

It’s not easy. Ambiguity is constant, the bar is high, and you have to be comfortable figuring things out as you go.

Pros

- pay is good - most ICs are genuinely kind and smart

Cons

I've been here long enough to realize no one in leadership has a plan. No one knows what they're doing. None of them. Built's success up to this point has purely been lack of competition. And as thats starting to change - they're scrambling and doing a "reorg" every 12 weeks and they cut jobs. As other reviews have stated - its usually the loudest person in the room who makes sweeping decisions that effect everyone at the org. I've lost count how many new technologies became "The Standard" because one person thought it would be cool to put on their resume. Then they inevitably leave and the rest of us are stuck maintaining a pile of garbage.
