Sorry that your experience so far has been less than satisfactory. Feel free to reach out to anyone on the management team or in human resources if you would like to be more specific with your feedback. We would appreciate hearing more about your point of view. When you add up the total years of experience on the senior leadership team in the construction and real estate industry, it exceeds a hundred years. We believe the expertise is there.

Pros

Great, smart people. Great offices if you want to go onsite. Free swag if that is your thing. Great concept for an app.

Cons

Leadership is building an amazon culture, which for some would be a deterant. There is a lot of recent turnover due to an internal reorg. Leadership doesn't listen to concerns of those below them, which are very valid. Heads are in the clouds dreaming about tech. What started as an amazing experience and fantastic culture in a quick moving start up envirnment where people feel supported for ideas is becoming a toxic work environment. Company needs to walk before they run.

Thanks for the review. We agree we have the smartest people in the business! You make a good point about balancing the delivery of tech that keeps our business running smoothly with innovation that changes the PropTech space forever. Lessen just wrapped up the communication of our Q3 Technology Road Map. We think we have a good balance of both and we are off and running!
