Pros

I can’t think about any pros.

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the flood of fake 5-star reviews, as they don’t reflect what actually happens at PermitFlow. The two founders are clowns that have no idea of what they are doing. In the past six months alone, PermitFlow has hired and fired people at a disturbing pace. They constantly overestimate incoming work, rush to hire, and then lay people off when things don’t go as expected. It’s not just poor planning, it’s careless. People are uprooting their lives, committing to the company, and then getting blindsided when leadership decides to “pivot” again. To make matters worse, the company is now trying to boost profits by pushing more work onto a few full-time employees while outsourcing as much as possible to cheaper offshore labor. It’s a race to the bottom, and the people who stay are left exhausted, unsupported, and burning out fast. Work-life balance is nonexistent—and frankly, they just don’t care. It’s painful to watch talented people be set up to fail because leadership doesn’t know how to build a sustainable or respectful workplace. Stay away from PermitFlow.

Pros

Working at PermitFlow has been a great experience. The culture is strong, collaborative, and mission-driven. People genuinely care about solving a real problem in construction and helping customers move projects forward faster. The team is world-class. Smart, hardworking people who set a high bar, but are also supportive and willing to help each other. It feels like a place where strong performers can learn quickly and do meaningful work alongside talented teammates. Leadership cares about the team and works hard to create an environment where people can grow, have real impact, and build their careers. Feedback is taken seriously, and there is a genuine effort to listen and improve over time. There are also thoughtful perks that make day-to-day life better, including lunch and dinner in the office, which helps teams spend more time together and makes busy days easier. Overall, a great place for ambitious people who want to grow, contribute, and work on a mission that matters.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high standards, which can be demanding, but creates strong learning opportunities and rapid career growth.
