Pros

26 year old company Great place to work. Up until 4 years ago.

Cons

Our CEO Dave Conway “who I had great respect for” thought selling out to an investment broker was a good idea. Instead of working to create a family environment to build better lives for everyone as it had been, management worked to dismantle and destroy everything to increase short term profits so they could temporarily make more money and keep a job. After that even the respectable leaders had to craw in the mud creating horrible fake policy's leading the team in incomprehensible directions and berating everyone underneath them making excuses to fire as many people as possible and still keep the doors open as they were instructed to do. This occurred in every department with the exception of sales, they kept the ones who had high numbers and were willing to work for lower pay the rest were a revolving door. The result was every qualified talented employee including the managers themselves jumped ship starting with the lowest PC tech all the way to the director and beyond. They were soon enough replaced with underpaid self important under educated incompetent baboons that were just happy to have a job in the exciting world of IT. The mission, to scheme plot and blame everyone around them in an attempt to hide their lack of knowledge and abilities. The mission was a success with the help of the newly replaced managers and director backing them up. However the product and customers suffer. P.S. In case your African American don't bother applying. A company of thousands of employees only employees around 15 or so African Americans. The question why is asked at every company meeting, the answer compresses down to we cant find anymore competent African Americans to hire.

Your perspective and advice is noted, and also appreciated. There is, however, one statement that needs to be addressed factually regarding the hiring of African Americans. We are an equal opportunity employer in every way. As a public company, we are not only committed to a diverse workforce, but also held to the highest standards regarding our hiring practices. Diversity and inclusion are inherent in our core values of People First, Respect, Empowerment, Collaboration and Drive, and we purposefully seek out talented, authentic people with unique and creative perspectives to drive synergy and success for our business. The number of self-identified African Americans employed far exceeds the number you have provided. Further, there has never been a time when a statement has been made that "we can't find anymore competent African Americans to hire." Our applicant and talent pool tells a very different story.

Pros

I actually waited until after the latest QBR before writing this review because I wanted to see if all the time and effort being put into AI would make a real difference. It was great to see the results starting to show. It's exciting to be part of a company that's willing to invest in the future instead of waiting for everyone else to figure it out first. I had a great experience working at ConstructConnect. One thing that really stood out was how seriously the company invested in AI. Instead of just talking about it, leadership rolled out three waves of AI training across the company and encouraged everyone to learn and actually use AI in their day-to-day work. It wasn't just for engineering either. Teams across the business got involved. The CEO and CTO deserve a lot of credit for driving this. They created a culture where trying new ideas was encouraged, and people were given the tools and support to make AI part of how they work instead of treating it like another corporate initiative. Overall, great people, supportive leadership, and a company that's always looking for ways to improve.

Cons

Nothing that stands out. My experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I appreciated the company's willingness to embrace change and innovation.

Pros

I'm confident ConstructConnect is the best place I've worked. From day one, it's clear this company genuinely lives and breathes its People First culture — not just as a talking point, but in tangible, everyday ways I've never experienced elsewhere. The culture is warm, collaborative, and fun. Management is truly invested in your growth — my manager proactively works with me on career development strategies, is upfront about where she wants me to be, and is equally open to my own goals and preferences. That kind of two-way investment is rare. Learning and development are baked into how we work. We have four dedicated "Library Hours" per week to focus on growing our knowledge — whether that's learning more about the company, our products, or our individual fields. It's a small thing that signals a lot. Beyond professional growth, there's real meaning in the work itself. We hear directly from customers how ConstructConnect has helped them land projects and grow their businesses — knowing our work helps build thriving communities is genuinely motivating. Strong Learning & Development — monthly learning offerings from our People & Culture team keep leaders and team members up to speed on the latest tools and protocols. A detailed onboarding program supports new hires as they ramp up. Benefits are generous — open PTO, strong flexibility depending on your team and role, and a hybrid work environment that has given me an excellent work/life balance.

Cons

This is a growing company, and change comes with that. If you struggle with change, take note — but for those who embrace it, the opportunities are there.
