Exciting place to work! - Anonymous employee Bilt Rewards Employee Review

People who have the most success at Bilt are those who have gone through the failures and success of rapidly building and shipping product. They have learned that that cycle never ends no matter what company you go to. If you are ok with throwing good ideas away because the timing just wasn't right, juggling multiple large concepts at the same time to truly map out the entire lifecycle of a user, maintaining focus on a broader story while implementing smaller features to work up to the vision, and all the pitfalls that come with scaling - work at Bilt. It takes a lot of discipline, personal reflection, intention, and most importantly a love for building software, to operate at this level everyday. If it was easier, everyone could do it.

If you need to be told what to do, where you could help, how to find problems to solve, and get distracted/compare yourself to others - this isn't the place for you. Bilt rewards curious and opinionated people that can make a decision under pressure. Everyone is doing what they can to make sense and organize the huge undertakings of revolutionizing how we live. Ankur and leadership isn't here to hand-hold you or be your friend. If being expected to deliver, execute, and receive feedback (and criticism) constantly isn't what you want to do atm - don't work at Bilt. Having expectations from your peers given to you is a privilege, they want to see you succeed! That doesn't mean earning their trust is easy. If you want support and the ability to take time off with no questions asked - that is a right you earn and aren't just given.

Great health insurance and the office coffee situation was decent, which honestly is the absolute bare minimum but still one of the few tolerable things here.

- The processes here are completely nonexistent. - You will spend your first month desperately trying to figure out how anything actually works because nobody documented anything and every person gives a completely different version of the same procedure, which becomes infuriating fast. - There is no standard workflow for anything, so you constantly waste time reinventing everything or asking five different people the same question and getting five completely different answers. - Meetings happen just to repeat the same useless conversations from previous meetings while nothing actually improves. - Things constantly fall through because there is no real tracking system at all. It is just endless emails flying everywhere until something important disappears. - By the end, I was completely exhausted trying to compensate for the total lack of any real organizational structure.
