Benji Co-Founder & CEO here. Curious which areas of the product you've touched on that you're disappointed with? We have ample things we want to improve - but the reason folks are switching to us is that we're well ahead of competition on most dimensions. I also was an EM on the prior generation of products which let us to build Ashby. But it's a surprisingly broad product and so takes a long time to perfect.

We’re building software that is changing the construction process (think GitHub for construction). Our users love our app because it helps them build real things more efficiently. By joining our team you can influence product decisions and work on interesting technical challenges (our client apps work with GBs of blueprints and metadata). Our engineering teams are small; whatever team you work on, you'll have a chance to have a big impact.
We’re hiring across all of our engineering teams: Android, Web, iOS, Windows, Backend (Python).

Ugh. This article has virtually no content. Pretty similar to most other shallow coverage of tech in mainstream media (eg NYT).
Same claims of being overvalued/never drawing a profit we’re made about FB, Amazon, etc. too. And even if you actually believe current startups are overvalued, at least provide some kind of analysis.
