Pluspunten

benefits were competitive with companies of this size

Minpunten

awful leadership that lacks a coherent roadmap for the product. technology suffers from a decade of tech debt and relies on majority offshore contractors who are unmanaged and unaccountable. product is buggy and features lag behind the competition. laid off 25% of employees in October

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and advice to management. We’ve made code health a key initiative this year and over the last several months we’ve improved code health more than anytime in our company’s history and have seen site performance and stability improve markedly each month as a result, bringing us in line with the best platforms in the industry. While Built In does utilize offshore resources to maintain parts of our platform, 75% of our Product and Tech org are based in the United States.

Pluspunten

I feel consistently challenged and engaged by the work. There’s always something meaningful to contribute to. Leadership invites open, honest conversations when something isn’t working. Feedback is taken seriously and followed up on. New ideas are actually implemented. I’ve seen multiple suggestions from teammates evolve into real projects within a few months. Collaboration across departments is excellent. Marketing, product, and engineering work closely together instead of operating in silos. That collaboration helps everyone see how their work fits into the company’s larger goals. The leadership does set bold, multi-year goals (e.g. doubled revenue targets, new product verticals) and then backs them with resources. Strategy isn’t static, but the shifts are usually in response to validated data (metrics, customer feedback, market changes) rather than whim. Communication is improving: we’ve had more frequent all-hands Q&A sessions, departmental “town halls,” and Slack threads where execs directly respond.

Minpunten

Because the company is scaling fast, roles sometimes evolve quicker than job descriptions, which can feel murky during transitions.
