Pros

The company offers a great work environment. The office itself is nice and spacious, with windows that you can actually open, and a nice balcony to enjoy lunch in the summer. The work is stimulating and interesting. I had a lot of great opportunities to work with various members of the team, and learn tons of stuff about the tech and real estate industries. Facing new challenges every week was the main reason I joined the company, and so far I am not disappointed! Building Stack is a small company, so all team members get to wear many hats to help each other succeed. New ideas and suggestions are always welcome. Upper management works closely with the employees, and everybody knows each other. The team is a lot of fun! Management made conscious efforts to assemble a very diverse team, and everyone is treated equally regardless of their ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. New employees also have good supervision and resources, so you quickly get up and running.

Cons

The benefits are OK, but not as great as other companies I worked for (or received offers from). This is to be expected from a startup, and something I knew from the start, but if there was one thing that could be improved about the company as an employer, it would be that.

Pros

"Free" Company Swag: While receiving branded merchandise like t-shirts, water bottles, or tote bags might seem like a nice perk initially, these items often end up cluttering your space and serve little practical purpose. Employees may prefer benefits that have a more direct impact on their well-being or professional development. Office Ping-Pong Tables: Many companies tout office game rooms or recreational areas as a way to promote a fun and relaxed work environment. However, these amenities often serve as distractions rather than productivity boosters. Employees may prefer benefits that support work-life balance or professional growth opportunities. Discounted Gym Memberships: While discounted gym memberships may seem like a valuable benefit for promoting employee health and wellness, they may not be practical for all employees. Some may already have memberships elsewhere or prefer other forms of exercise. Offering more flexible wellness benefits that cater to individual needs and preferences may be more effective. "Casual Fridays": Instituting a casual dress code on Fridays may be seen as a way to boost employee morale and create a more relaxed atmosphere. However, for many employees, the difference between casual and formal attire may be minimal, and the impact on morale may be negligible. Employees may value benefits that have a more tangible impact on their job satisfaction and well-being.

Cons

One of the most glaring issues at Building Stack, or DomumLink, is the glaring discrepancy between the company's marketing promises and the reality of its products. From the outside, Building Stack presents itself as a cutting-edge solution for property management, promising streamlined workflows and enhanced efficiency. However, once inside, employees quickly discover that the software is riddled with bugs, lacks essential features, and is incredibly cumbersome to use. Basic tasks that should be simple and straightforward become needlessly complex, leading to frustration and wasted time for both employees and clients.

Pros

Fast paced enterprise software that has a large market. Quick releases of new features and products. Solid process that was refined over time, with management always looking to make sustainable improvements. Nice work environment where coworkers are genuinely teammates and friends, even outside of office hours. Management very approachable and responsive, even when out of office. General feeling that everyone was part of a team to get this product out there.

Cons

Could be a very demanding job, as we were chronically understaffed. I felt like hiring was based a lot on gut feeling, especially before an HR person was brought on the team, and therefore many employees were not a good fit culturally. The direction of the business (strategy) was not always well communicated, and info was sometimes slow to reach staff, which would cause confusion.
