Cons
For anyone serious about growing an appraisal and/or commercial real estate career, beware. - None of the founders have MAIs nor are experienced professionals in this space. They are not professionals in the very space they are trying to "disrupt" - If you want to learn about commercial real estate and / or valuation. Go to an established firm. You'll also get paid more there (33.33 - 50% of job fees) and you'll get much better mentorship. - Many of the top MAIs and appraisers have left this company. - Bowery is great at raising money and burning through cash. As a result, they've gone through multiple layoffs (same-day layoffs). Although they claim to care about culture and its people, they do not. - Technology is decades behind the established firms. Nothing disruptive about their tech. - They work with some questionable clients who will pressure you on values. - Very difficult and unstable time for Prop-tech. Bowery will entice you with benefits and a salary, but do not have the structures, leadership, and processes in place to help you (nor the company) succeed.
