Pros

- snacks - nitro cold brew - you can learn a lot

Cons

- no flexibility to work from home for more than 1 day a week max - chained to desk while at work and guilted when you take a break - very political environment, if you're not in the clique, your career is not safe - fake reviews - no transparency or open conversations about salary - does not respect the need to work from home in a global pandemic

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience while working at Billd. We are always monitoring the broader health environment and have made the necessary changes to ensure a safe working environment while also giving employees the flexibility to work from home once a week. We will continue to follow policies recommended by CDC and balance with the local environment in Austin. We are always looking to improve our open-door policy on issues such as compensation and to promote a fun and nurturing work environment. It’s very disappointing to hear feedback about politics in the office and lack of trust with your career, that is against everything we stand for with our employees. Please be confident that this feedback is heard and will get our full attention. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

Pros

Initial onboarding and training were some of the best I’ve seen from a startup—structured, informative, and focused on setting new hires up for success. The product itself is strong and genuinely helps contractors. Some incredibly talented individuals on the team who are passionate and driven.

Cons

After ramp, support largely disappears. Ongoing coaching, feedback, and leadership engagement were minimal—requests for shadowing, field visits, or call reviews often went unanswered. The company struggles with internal organization: travel plans were often last minute and unclear, and changes in direction happened frequently without alignment. Sales goals felt inconsistent across the team. Top performers were given leads from multiple channels, while others were left to self-source entirely, with little recognition of that imbalance. The SDR team saw major changes that significantly impacted meeting volume—field reps were still expected to deliver on pipeline despite limited support. Promised quarterly team gatherings never materialized, creating a lack of cohesion and connection across the company. There was a lack of accountability regarding territory integrity, which led to frustration among peers. The performance management process lacked transparency—seeing talented people let go without formal improvement plans was discouraging. Realistically, to hit OTE you need to be with the company for 12–18 months to build your customer base. The post-ramp compensation and support did not reflect that expectation.
