Pros

Product market fit is spot on; homeowners need this and contractors line up to work with Realm. The home renovation industry is begging to be brought into the modern world and Realm is far and away the best company to do it. The team is extremely smart and motivated which drives results in days not weeks. There's massive upside in the space and Realm is taking full advantage of the opportunity and leaving any "competition' behind.

Cons

Sometimes long days but that's to be expected in a startup with a huge opportunity to capture.

Pros

NONE. They made us write fake reviews while they watched to offset all the recent negative ones. Unfortunately, there are no positives about this company left. Over the past few months management has fallen apart and the remaining leadership is unproductive, toxic, and exploits employees.

Cons

Employees are expected to work 6-7 days a week, even when unwell. Many of us had our compensation structure unfairly changed right after joining, leaving previous jobs under false pretenses. The business is clearly in decline, yet management continues to manipulate employees into believing there's hope. Avoid this place—if you’re already here, start planning your exit.
