Pros

Flex-time ish. This depends on how much Michael and Tom like you.

Cons

All of the positive reviews here (the ones with no real cons) are made by BuddBoss's overseas employees (India, eastern Europe, etc). Shame on Tom/Michael for exploiting the most vulnerable members of the company (who aren't actual employees, but desperate contractors afraid of losing work.) I look forward to Tom/Michael's poorly written response where they rationalize their actions, so they can keep living in an echo chamber.

Pros

Literally None! I don't see any point to work at this place...

Cons

- Weird Set up in general! American Founders, Developers based out of India and such, "Head Office" in Vancouver! (Shared Office ) - 2 young cofounders with ZERO Business and real-life experience - Over Promising Clients to charge their money - Get Rich fast mentality - Need it yesterday attitude and push Developers to the limit with no reward at the end

BuddyBoss Response

I am the co-owner of BuddyBoss (and AppBoss) and would like to respond to all of the points here as I think it is an unfair depiction of the company. "American Founders, Developers based out of India and such, "Head Office" in Vancouver!" I'm not sure why she put "Head Office" in quotes as our head office is indeed in Vancouver. We have 9 people in the Vancouver office and we do most of the operations from there, including project management. And then we have an offshore team working around the world, some in USA, others in India, Europe and Philippines. Those people are incredibly smart and provide a ton of value to our team. We know our overseas employees personally and go visit them and take them on retreats, I was just in India a week ago for one of our employee's weddings there. I love our distributed team and consider them a big part of the BuddyBoss family. The employee who wrote this review knew she would be working with a mix of local and oversees staff both in the job posting and when hired, so there is no justification to complain about it. "2 young cofounders with ZERO Business and real-life experience" I am 34... that's not that young. I have a wife and family and have traveled all around the world. I started the company in 2010, meaning I have been growing this company for 9 years straight. We now have nearly 45 employees, and tens of thousands of customers, and we are probably the most well known brand in our niche. To people reading this, you can judge those facts however you want. "Over Promising Clients to charge their money. Get Rich fast mentality." Our goal is to make our client's lives easier and most of them love working with us. The majority of our revenue, well over 70%, comes from repeat business from existing clients. Don't believe me? Check out our client testimonials and judge for yourself. https://appboss.com/case-studies/ "Need it yesterday attitude and push Developers to the limit with no reward at the end." The truth is that we treat our developers well and pay them well too. They get to work on fun, rewarding projects and be part of a team, and again, we pay them well. Do we expect people to work hard and get things done quickly, YES! We have high standards, if you have a good work ethic and you are proud of doing good work you will love working at BuddyBoss. If you are lazy, then you won't enjoy it.

Pros

BuddyBoss provides the opportunity to work on some truly massive enterprise clients and an employer that really cares about you as a person. The culture and benefits are distinctly in quality and values. The company is fully remote, which creates an environment that matches and supports you as a remote employee. It's also quite fun to work with co-workers from 4 different continents that all bring their own cultural values and nuance to the conversation. If you want to work with brilliant people, and build cool things, challenge yourself to grow, contribute to a growing company, share ideas, and work in a positive environment than BuddyBoss a good place. Leadership are compassionate, thoughtful, and never beyond reach. Overall, BuddyBoss is a fantastic place to work and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for work in this field.

Cons

No cons for this company. I'm glad I left all the troubles of my regular 10-7 job and joined this company.
