What do you like about working at Buy.com?
"I worked closely with the CTO Rob Brock who was always looking for new technologies and approaches to improve the site. As his chief architect, I had a great deal of freedom to build new technologies and approaches for each country I rolled out. I architected the Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Australia sites and with eac site I added new features that were rolled back to previous countries, including the US. I was an hourly contractor and the company gave me cash and stock bonuses which is rare for a contractor."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"After 10 years I have no idea who is still there or what the culture is."
What don't you like about working at Buy.com?
"There was a great deal of conflict between the CIO and CTO and between upper managers for each division (i.e., Computers, Books, music, etc). Very little cooperation between managers who were more interested in empire building."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"It has been 10 years and I am sure things have changed there. I have no suggestions."
