Pros

1) I always had direct access to the leadership team, as they sat in the same office as everyone else. 2) Everyone's opinion always seemed to be welcomed as there were multiple weekly team-wide meetings 3) BuiltWorlds always had a talented, hard-working team who understood the difference BuiltWorlds was making in an industry getting disrupted 4) BuiltWorlds allowed opportunities for growth and laid out a clear plan as to how to grow personally and within the company.

Cons

1) BuiltWorlds always tried to do too much which caused for a stressful, fast-paced environment 2) The team is lean, which means you have to get creative with how to use the resources that are available to you. 3) Growth comes with hits and misses which BuiltWorlds has experienced. BuiltWorlds does a good job of identifying talent, however, there were times when the talent may have encountered a modified focus or responsibility to shift with ever-changing business needs.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We really don’t have much to add. You captured so much of the kind of company we aspire to be for all, and, yes, as we have learned more about our business, we have become increasingly focused on our members and forging genuine insights and connections for them. We will take to heart your suggestions, and maintain a tighter focus as we now settle in on our business model. We will be more deliberate in our hiring process about trying to ensure people understand both the opportunities and also the requisites for success in working at BuiltWorlds. We will also take more time to talk with the team about our broader aspirations for being a truly meaningful resource for our community and for the industry, in general. Thanks again! Your words mean a lot to us.
