Vantaggi
I applied here over 5 years ago because I needed a job and heard it was a fun place to work. In my 5 years here I have had 5 different positions and each one has challenged me and taught me more than I would have ever learned if I had went back to school like I originally planned. Do not apply here if you just want a job. Build.com rewards people who invest in themselves and turn their jobs into careers. In my previous employment I always hit a wall at around the 2 year mark and ended up leaving for a new opportunity. Things change so fast around here that I am well past 2 years and still feel just as challenged as I did 5 years ago. I have worked in different departments but nothing compares to the energy of our Sales Center and I keep finding my way back here.
Svantaggi
While they do invest in their employees they will not hold your hand. You will be responsible for your own success and if you fail be prepared to take responsibility. Not a true con but the company is growing so fast and there are so many opportunities that it can be overwhelming to know which path to take. The company has made strides in this area but be prepared for there not to be a clear career path and to do the leg work yourself to find your own. People will push you hard. They will question you on almost everything so if you bring an idea with no supporting data or a plan they will not respond positively. If you are smart you will only do this once and it will make you better at your job.
