5 Reasons You Should Work at BiggerPockets

I am often asked, “Why do people choose to work at BiggerPockets?” I always respond by saying, “We are different than most VC [venture capital] startups, and that is what makes BiggerPockets stand out.”

I’ll preface the following by saying we do cover the basics on the employee perks list:

Company paid healthcare for our employees
Competitive PTO
Ping pong tables

However, we stand out because we are (proudly) bootstrapped and because our focus is on creating an environment for people to grow, develop, and succeed as the company does. Since we are bootstrapped, we don’t offer the shiny VC startup benefits such as an in-house chef, free gym membership, and massage days, but it has caused us to focus on an important aspect of any company: culture.

Our company culture is defined by what we stand for as an organization. Here are our 5 defining features.
