Pros

The data is terrific, the people are awesome, the opportunity is there. Helpful co-workers are really the best part.

Cons

Custom in house developed ETL tools and infrastructure with massive disregard for industry best practices. Short sighted management only interested in highly optimizing broken workflows rather than addressing the heart of the issue. You are a cog in a machine. You are on an assembly line. You don't matter to the company. Only adherence to the broken corporate policy matters. Some have said it's a culture of debate allowing input from individuals. Internally it had been called a meritocracy. Really it's a culture of shared ignorance playing a game of arguing about things that don't matter and feeling like they've accomplished something when nothing changes.

Pros

I get to work with people I would like to hang out with on the weekends. From a sales standpoint, we add real measurable value to our customers. This allows me to have executive level financial conversations with prospects and not talk in hypotheticals. Additionally BuildFax has one of the more collaborative teams I've been on.

Cons

Our customers see a lot of different things they could do with the products. You have to keep them focused. There is also still a small bit of "build it as we fly" going on in terms of sales process. That said, if you're someone who likes to put their mark on something it can be a positive.

Pros

This company is a rarity in Asheville - great business concept, smart people, progressive ideas, and a fun company culture. This is a relatively new start-up company that is always looking for ways to increase productivity and develop new product offerings. This isn't a stale operation. Thus the culture is one of open debate and aggressive action. This type of atmosphere is great for ambitious, smart people that aren't afraid to think outside the box. I have been here for 5+ years and I can say that this is a great place to work if you are trying to raise a family. The maternity and paternity leave policies are tremendous and the managers are always willing to work with you to make sure you are able to put family first. Working in this type of environment is a real blessing. BuildFax also makes an effort to coordinate fun company events, whether it's a team bowling outing or giving back to the community by volunteering at the local food bank. You can tell this is an important part of the company culture.

Cons

Being a small start-up company means we don't get to rest on our laurels. There is a real sense of urgency that permeates through the building. If you aren't up for the challenge and you just want a paycheck - look elsewhere.
