Amazing company to learn and grow

- People team encouraged continual feedback loop and support.
- Cross functional work was encouraged and ideas are openly shared with the broader group.
- Compensation was competitive with industry standard.
- Teams were supportive of directional changes and provided feedback for optimization.

None, I loved my time at the company.

I know BuildDirect has been through several challenges over the years but I respect the resilience of the executive team. Even when there were differences of opinion open dialog was encouraged and that is rare in larger organizations. Please do not lose the heart of what makes BuildDirect amazing - It's people.
You guys are doing a great job.

The hiring and on-boarding process was one of the best I've experienced. They ensure you're lined up for success.
Absolutely fantastic culture. The energy from day one was noticeably different than past companies I've worked for. Truly a work-family.

Traumatic experience - work here if you like working around passive aggressive people
|
|
Was given a fair amount of ownership. A few good eggs littered in between.
|
Many passive aggressive people were working here. Could not trust most people. So glad I am not at this company anymore. Senior management publicly promoted leftist policies, politics or politicians.

Start to hire genuine people, instead of snakes who market themselves well. Don't hire people to C level positions that may have some shady dealings. It makes you as the CEO look bad. Reward good people, instead of the people telling you what you want to hear.

Crossing off my Bucket list while working at BD
|
|
I worked with a leader that recognizes success, welcomes and offers feedback that encouraged me to become more engaged, effective and fulfilled at BD. A work/life balance that afforded me to work flexible hours and off-site was supported. Seeing the world is really important to me and with BD's unlimited vacation benefit, I was able to cross off a lot on my bucket list. Thank you BD!
|
Like many companies, BD have always survived tough economic times, however, this has not stopped employees to feel insecure with its stability.

What it feels like to enjoy going to work everyday
|
|
The people are amazing. Kind, thoughtful with high emotional intelligence. Ability to share ideas openly. Constant collaboration. Balanced work life and flexibility. The unlimited vacation truly shifts the way we approach how we work, this is a priceless benefit.
|
You will need to be able pivot and go with the flow when changes are happening. Things can change quickly, very much like a start-up. If you thrive in a changing environment, you will find it very exhilarating and fun. If you don't, you could get frustrated.
