Vantaggi

booj is great for people just starting off in their professional life! They often hire junior level employees, allowing them to learn and grow at the company. There is a lot of room for growth and expansion that wouldn't be present at larger companies. Being a start-up, employees have a lot of power to give feedback, and often dictate new processes and products. The people are great, and you make really fast friends with the people you work with. The culture is also fun, especially if you like playing games like pingpong and pool. There are also fun outings that are organized for the employees. booj really prides itself in letting you have a life outside of work.

Svantaggi

Because booj hires so many junior level employees there is a larger learning curve, which can slow down processes and projects. It also means that more training is necessary, but I see many people leave/get fired because of a lack of training. Certain positions are "thrown to the wolves" and then fired quickly if they can't keep up, which I don't think is fair because I know that with a little extra training, they would last a long time at booj.

Vantaggi

Booj is a really fun place to work. You can bring your dog if you have one. There are a lot of good, friendly, active people that work there. You can do whatever you want. This is good and bad. Sometimes it's good, but it can also be irritating to work with people who are stoned all day, including managers. Fun games such as table tennis, pool, foosball etc. Good place to work if you are just out of college and have few expenses, or if you are a marijuana enthusiast.

Svantaggi

They seem to get rid of some good people, but will gladly keep others who are incompetent. There isn't much of an organizational structure, though there's a lot of talk about reorganization often (this can be good and bad). While there are some really great people, management seem oblivious to certain things, like the extremely low pay. They talk very proudly of the awards that they've won, they seem to think that it's a privilege to work at Booj, but they show a lot of favoritism and don't seem to mind that they pay far below market average. The biggest problem is definitely salary. A game room does not pay the bills. The company could hire much more qualified people, and improve the products drastically, if they were willing to pay an average salary (28k per year for a Project Manager is simply embarrassing). Managers are just those who have been there a long time (whether qualified or not).

As a young, growing company, we indeed struggle to pay the kind of wages that the Googles, Facebooks and other large technology companies are able to pay and who often set the industry average. There are no hidden facts; the wage and the first year's increments are agreed before any applicant accepts the job. All employees are encouraged to carve their own career path, and those who take initiative are often promoted. We often hire for junior positions and cultivate successful individuals to higher roles with more responsibility and higher pay. ` We continue to invest in our company culture and internal processes in order to provide an environment that our employees take pride in and want to be a part of. I hope you find something that fulfills your requirements better and I am sorry that we were not the ideal fit.
