Pros

The office is nice, having a bar at work is a bonus, they have good salespeople that seem to be able to sell things even when we could not deliver.

Cons

DRAMA, dishonesty, the two owners actually sued each other and 'broke up' which only made things worse. NO management, no direction and a complete lack of morals or honesty made it a miserable place to work. I honestly have no idea how they stay in business.

Thank you for your comments! Our business is always evolving and looking to improve everything we offer. Evolving at the same rate of technology can cause some growing pains, but with our excellent staff, we work together to move past those pains pretty quickly. One of our priorities is to establish an open environment for people to grow professionally by being creative and taking charge of projects. Our bar and pool table area are a few of our great perks that allow time to relax from the daily grind and hang out with co-workers. We are sorry to hear the environment didn’t work out for you and can understand the feeling of not having enough direction with our kind of project process. We thank you for sharing your talents with the Builder Designs team and wish you all the best in your next adventure!

Pros

The company offers exceptional benefits including fully covered health insurance, demonstrating real investment in employees. Leadership is personable and approachable - I had genuine, meaningful conversations with my direct manager. The developers are knowledgeable about their respective areas, and there's clear technical expertise within the team.

Cons

Technical decision-making is heavily influenced by backend/full-stack perspectives. Frontend development is not always viewed as equal to other engineering disciplines, which can create challenges for FE specialists trying to advocate for best practices. Team has strong opinions about architecture and approaches, with limited openness to alternative perspectives. Work planning and project management processes need significant improvement. Small team dynamics mean disagreements can be difficult to navigate. Performance feedback and expectations could be communicated more clearly.
