Avantages
At face value, the company seems "fun and hip" with plenty of opportunities to socialize with your coworkers and volunteer. They seem to be relaxed with your stereotypical startup culture, although they aren't really a startup anymore. They seem to be pretty involved in the community.
Inconvénients
I was enthusiastic about joining this company as it had a focus on startup culture and giving back to the community, however my career there was short-lived. I was quickly thrown to the side as a young, up and coming female developer because BuildASign wanted to cut corners and save money for their precious investors. Even though they are a large, growing company with money to spare on various events, they are still at the mercy of their investors. This leaves everyone in a uncomfortable position of existing under a microscope and wondering whether or not they'll be able to keep their job. Basically, if you're not in the home-decor department (who seem to get special treatment) you could easily get the ax. This was true for me even though I was taking on work that should have been done by two people (I was doing more than I was hired for and not being compensated as such). And here's the WORST PART: if you are a young, single female, people will not take you seriously. Especially in the male-dominated divisions (software development and IT). After withstanding multiple offhand, unprofessional sexual remarks and having my personal bubble intruded upon, I continued to attend work and do my job with a smile on my face. Despite that, I was treated as a second-class employee. I'm truly disappointed at how this company is changing and wish they would celebrate diversity a little better.
