Inconvénients

I’ve worked for several companies and they have all been diverse from the top down. This isn’t the case here. For the most part, the people here were nice and helpful, but there were a few toxic people as well. I just knew that when I took this job there were going to be something that was going be racial or discriminatory, and was I proven right. I observed quite a few situations that I would refer to as "soft" racial incidents. They weren't blatant, but being a minority I know the signs. There was one particular incident that I did bring to the CEO (a very nice, personable, and gracious person). He was very empathetic about what transpired and took my concerns very seriously. In hindsight, I wish I would have told him the whole scope of what I observed or experienced there. He speaks of wanting to create a diverse environment and I truly believe that is the vision that he would like for his company, but his vision isn’t trickling down to the rest of the organization. You can tell by the same candidate that continues to get hired there- young, white, and has a theater background. I talked to my manager as well about the incident and after the last meeting I knew that it was time for me to go. I felt that the other parties involved were not reprimanded properly, I was expected to just turn the page and go on as nothing happened and continue to work around those people. I also felt like I was being policed. If you are a minority reading this you will know exactly what I’m talking about. If I had to do it over again I would not have taken the job.

Avantages

Everyone is really great. Like really great. They're helpful and want to do their best by their customers and their peers. People trust you to get your work done, and I'm learning on the job constantly. Never bored. I feel like I'm getting amazing work experience while also loving the people I have to spend 40 hrs a week with. Also, Helen is a force to be reckoned with. We had to do a restructuring/some layoffs recently, which was hard, but putting Helen in as CEO was an excellent call made by all. I feel very optimistic right now

Inconvénients

Private equity owned means a certain level of red tape and approval processes (but senior leadership does a good job of protecting us from that). CRE is a hard industry to be in right now, but the product is sticky so it helps knowing that our customers need us

Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you're having such a fantastic experience with your teammates and enjoying the work environment. It’s awesome that you’re never bored and constantly learning – that’s exactly what we aim for! Helen truly is a force to be reckoned with, and we’re so glad you feel optimistic about the future with her as our CEO. Navigating restructuring and layoffs is never easy, but having strong leadership makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing the love! We’re so happy to have you as part of the Buildout team.

Amazing people - everyone is helpful and supportive. Decent benefits. Fully remote. Great work/life balance.

Inconvénients

The only bad thing about working at Buildout is that the compensation is on the lower side. Everything else is pretty close to perfect.
