Pluspunten
If you want the experience or environment of working in a Bay Area-style tech company, one without the risk of failure you get with startup companies, Build.com is a perfect fit. Signs such as "Work Hard Play Hard", "No Good Comes From Hitting 'Reply-All'" and "If It's Really Funny, It's Probably Harassment" adorn the walls. The dress and the atmosphere are casual, the culture is young and dynamic, and the default expectation is growth.
Minpunten
Compensation is not what it would be in a larger city, though cost of living for Chico is commensurately lower as well. Rapid change can sometimes outpace the ability of the company to keep up with it. The first couple times the CEO walks by swearing and threatening to fire people can be unnerving.
