Vantaggi
Great opportunity: the Dallas office is expanding rapidly enough to contribute to a startup-like atmosphere. Very interesting and relevant industry. Lots of networking opportunity. Products of work are tangible and contribute to the local community. BURY truly cares about people. I believe in the leadership, company, and work. Most, if not all, of who I met from the company felt the same way. Many sincerely consider it to be the best company they've ever worked for. The hierarchy is very flat - as an intern I often reported directly to the principals of the Dallas office. Flexible hours - as long as it is communicated. Since the company is in an expansion phase, the growing pains consist of figuring out future benefits and culture, thus, now and in the near-future, employee comments are taken into increased consideration. ~Everyone is willing to work extra hours and go above and beyond for the company. It can also be a con (see cons). Someone close to Paul, the CEO, attributed Paul's success to two things: he cares about relationships, and he cares about people.
Svantaggi
Negative sides of the growing pains consist of relative disorganization and a constantly-shifting, thus most of the time undefined, hierarchy. Many processes haven't been standardized/streamlined. A lot of grunt work which took me a day could have taken an hour if there was a process for it. BURY would greatly benefit from an expert in VBA and Excel with knowledge of the Real Estate Development Industry. Since a significant portion of the company work long hours (60 to 80+ depending on the workload), there is a large push to do the same which may disrupt work-life balance. Stronger attention to personal work-life balance must be taken.
