Pros

You receive a paycheck on a regular basis, interesting industry, and some good coworkers, when they stick around.

Cons

All of these answers can be proven by reporting, it is recommended should you interview with e-Builder you ask these questions. 1. How many employees have been there for over 5 years? Answer: 8 (Hopefully soon to be 4) 2. Of those 8 how many are in the same position, same level, and/or have just had a Senior added to their title? Answer: 7 3. How many tenured (3 or more years) people have left since January 1st? Answer: 5 (Number is higher for people who are not tenured that left). 4. Out of 180 (estimated) employees, how many have been with the company less than 2 years? Answer: 121 5. What are employees biggest complaints? Answer: Management and their unrealistic expectations, refusal to listen to their employees, refusal to follow their own core values and no effort to fix any issues.

Pros

The CEO is a nice guy, which makes writing this negative review all the more difficult.

Cons

The CEO is a nice guy...but very shortsighted, and will eventually take down the entire company as a result. The problem is that it is impossible to innovate at the company because the people running development are lazy, firmly entrenched, and resistant to change. There's a reason that competing construction software companies like Procore are growing rapidly while e-builder struggles with even minor updates to its aging and outdated codebase (just for laughs, compare the e-builder and Procore web sites) The aforementioned management hubris, coupled with unwillingness to pay competitive salaries to attract top engineering talent pretty much guarantees that e-builder will inevitably vanish. My review title cautions against believing the positive reviews, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out they were planted - but if you don't believe me, it's simple to track down former e-builder employees via LinkedIn and get some e-mail addresses. Contact them directly and ask them if my opinion is accurate and fair,

A Sweat Shop in a Fancy Office Space

Pros

The office itself is beautifully modern and upscale, complete with a "zen" room and employee "game" room. CEO tries to be as involved as possible and seems to care about the company overall. The benefits are pretty standard. About 1/4 of the company staff is friendly and helpful. The location of the company is good.

Cons

Unfortunately, this company is all "smoke and mirrors". The "zen" room is normally a place employees go to cry or make desperate phone calls to find another job...or both. Only the "favorite" employees have time or opportunity to actually use the game room. The "favorite" employees are selfish, closed off, and completely unwilling to be team players. The company gives fancy titles to hourly positions in order to make them sound good, but they aren't willing to provide proper salaries. They abuse and misuse a "Chinese overtime" system, so if you work over 40 hours (which is common and expected), don't expect time and a half compensation. Unless you're one of the "favorites" of management, don't count on any type of support or understanding. This company is perfect for you if you want to be over-worked and under-paid.
