Employee testimonials
"We Build Pages is the best company I've ever worked for. As my first 'real' job after college, I was nervous; there are so many people out there that hate their job, but We Build Pages isn't like that at all. I look forward to coming to work everyday, and I really enjoy the people I work with. I live an hour away, but the positive atmosphere of the company makes the long commute worth it."
Karina S.
"In the few years that I have been an employee at We Build Pages I can honestly say that I consider my co-workers and management team an extension of my family. I recently had gone through some personal hardships and the We Build Pages staff were there for me with open arms. There aren't many people that I know of that can honestly say that they are happy to go to work everyday and consider their co-workers an extension of their family."
Ashley D.
"Working at WBP has easily been the best job experience of my life. Almost 5 years into the game, I'm still excited to get to work in the morning. Job perks aside (and there are MANY!) working at this company has provided a close knit group of friends who I may not have met otherwise. Thanks, Jim!"
Sarah R.
"I have been an employee for a little over a month, and I love working here. There is a full training program and you will never feel like you're drowning like other company's 'sink or swim' method. In this short amount of time, I have witnessed amazing things. We Build Pages isn't a company, it's a family."
Julie K.
"We Build Pages is not your typical job and workplace. The office has a relaxed atmosphere and dress code which makes it easier to work here. The co-workers are all fun-loving and great to be around. And, the management team works hard to make it a great place to work by providing company outings, work sponsored team lunches, periodic contests and much more! All in all, as a place to work, We Build Pages rocks!"
Walt E.
"For me, We Build Pages provides an ideal work environment. I'm allowed a lot of freedom as long I get the job done, and working for a company this generous only motivates me to work harder to show my appreciation. I'm able to do such fun stuff at the office with such awesome co-workers, I really can't express my satisfaction with this job enough."
Ben K.
"I love coming in to work everyday to a crazy-fun and energetic group. WBP has opened my life to some amazing new experiences. We work hard together and it sure does pay off :-). Our boss rocks and he never forgets to show us how appreciated we all are."
Lauren C.
"Every morning I walk into an office full of smart, decent, and talented people. This is no accident. We Build Pages hires people, not numbers, and this is not forgotten after the hiring process. Every person is valued, and even as a single member of the team, my input has been taken constructively, and has been applied to our methods, tools, and has even steered charitable donations. Other employers have told me that my work and input has been appreciated. We Build Pages has shown it."
Ben M.
"I am so happy to work at We Build Pages! The work is interesting and there is so much potential as long as you're motivated. But what I really love are the people. Everyone says that about their job but I truly feel that we have unique characters! Each person has talents they are allowed to express and the way we are broken into teams makes coming to work much more rewarding... you feel invested in your own individual achievement as well as how your team does. I've worked at some famous global corporations and yet I'm happier here than I ever was there, basically b/c of the atmosphere of silliness and seriousness rolled into one."
Anna P.
"I have never enjoyed working with a group of people more than with the team at We Build Pages. There is a community at this company, one in which I feel respected and am happy to be part of. People work together and management listens and acts upon concerns, as well as encourages everyone to express their ideas. We Build Pages also offers a truly unique opportunity in that what you get out of the job reflects the effort you put in."
Alicia G.
"For the first time in my professional career I feel like I am accomplishing something everyday. Good work is always recognized here. It's a great feeling when you know you are really doing something worthwhile with your time and that it's noticed and appreciated."
Shayna H.
"Working at We Build Pages has provided me with SO MUCH more than a job and a paycheck. It's provided me with opportunities, like being able to visit another country, financially planning for my future, potential career growth, and what truly is, a second family. During a recent rough patch, We Build Pages picked me up and showed me the power of true generosity, support, and love. I couldn't be more thankful for my position, not just as a member of the WBP staff, but as a member of the WBP family. This is absolutely, 100%, the best 'job' I've ever had and it isn't like a 'job' at all! It's fun to come to work at We Build Pages, and I hope to do it for a long time! I'm not just feeling lucky, I AM lucky!"

And I feel so lucky to be a part of a company like that!"

The "Best Places to Work" surveys... the office years
From past years' award surveys, when everyone was in the office in Troy and then Clifton Park.
- "Not only in this current job market, but in any market this would be an ideal job for anyone wanting to make a career in this field. But also gives opportunity for recent graduates or untrained talent, to receive on the job training, with a very competitive starting wage."
- "In my 24 years of work experience, this is the most progressive company that I have ever worked for. The owner truly cares about his employees. I enjoy my work and appreciate the opportunities available at this company."
- "I enjoy coming to work every single day! I don't think many can say that."
- "This place has been an absolute blast to work at. I look forward to coming to work every morning. It doesn't feel like a job, it's fun. I truly enjoy the challenge of my work, and the ability to improve not only myself but carve out a niche in the company that is truly my own and allows the company to grow further."
- "IMN is a great place to work. Knowledgeable and friendly employees and leadership that truly seems to care."
- "Jim is an amazing boss and I haven't been this happy in a workplace EVER! If I'm allowed the opportunity to stay here for the rest of my career, I would be extremely pleased."
- "There is a unique culture here that still thrives despite the company's growth and acquisitions. I hope to work here for a long time." ... from a Ninja comparing IMN to past employers including several Fortune 500 companies
- "Most of the time we have a very fun and relaxed atmosphere, which allows us to be more productive than a stressful or highly regulated work atmosphere. The events and special days also allow us to relax and let loose on occasion, keeping us happy little worker bees."
- "Our CEO gives us enough flexibility for us to create the work environment we personally thrive in. Hours are flexible, breaks are flexible, vacation is flexible - he wants this job to be PART of our lives, not hinder any other aspects of it."
- "With cardboard cut outs displayed everywhere, fresh ice cream kept in the fridge all summer and pizza parties when we hit quota this place is pretty awesome. It is so nice to work somewhere where I don't have to wear business attire, I can come as myself b/c my numbers speak volumes! I truly appreciate this environment after coming from a very hostile one in my job before this. It is pretty much day and night and I am still taken aback (in a good way) at how nice and fair Internet Marketing Ninjas is to me and everyone."
- "I LOVE my workplace so much. I like waking up and going to work. This job is a dream come true. It's genuinely hard work - but Ninjas play hard and work hard!"
- "Overall, this is a great place to work. We have company events or special days that allow us to be ourselves and celebrate any nerdy or geeky obsessions. The people are great, our bosses can be fun, and the environment is very relaxed."
- "It's been a great place to work, doing a job that I really do enjoy. I would recommend it to anyone."
- "Internet Marketing Ninjas is one of the best employers for whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. IMN shows a consistent interest in the cultivation of employees, their workplace, and their communities. It is a bit like Cheers, you walk in and everyone knows your name. You grab a cup of coffee (or an ice cream - yes, that's free too) and your fellow co-workers say good morning and ask about your weekend. It sounds silly, but when you sneeze a bunch of your co-workers will say 'Gesundheit!' and then everyone will laugh a bit - it keeps the mood light. Not to mention the IMN flair, weekly prize giveaways, and the nerdy toys at everyone's desk."
- "Upper management has a very open door policy. I feel comfortable bringing any issues to their attention and I know that they will do everything in their power to alleviate issues."
- "The office culture is very positive and upper management continuously makes it a point to preserve the culture and cultivate a positive work environment that is engaging and productive, without being overly stressful on a daily basis."
- "Everyone is accountable for both the good and the bad. There is a personal relationship between management and staff that makes us feel valued."
- "The bonus system that is in place creates a positively competitive work place, where each employee has the opportunity to get monthly bonuses based on TEAM and Individual performance. Keeping the 'team' mentality is a major factor of a productive workplace."
- "Feedback is wonderful - we have frequent evaluations and time with managers. We have wonderful rewards - like an awesome company trip every year. This year I've gotten to go to Las Vegas AND San Francisco for work. I get paid well and the bonuses here are impressive."
- "They don't give us a hard time about miniscule issues like being late. They are very understanding about things and help us grow from our mistakes and don't scold us like children. Jim and management works hard for us and we work hard for them."
- "If you ask for help to become a better employee, you get it."
- "Recognizing talent and potential within employees at all stages, from interviewing, to hiring, to promotions, and developing that talent even further. Fostering a workplace centered on teamwork, collaboration and a true sense of community."
- "Here, we're given the opportunity to be creative, which you don't get everywhere. We're able to collaborate all of our ideas, which leads into another great aspect of Internet Marketing Ninjas - the aspect of teamwork. It's a true team effort, where EVERYONE pulls their weight, which is refreshing. It's just a great atmosphere all-around."
- "Bonus is awesome. At the end of each month they recognize who goes above and beyond, who does the best work - and it is purely based on numbers not politics. Keeping it light. The atmosphere here is amazing and fun."
- "It seems too good to be true to work for such an innovative company, but it exists right here in Clifton Park!"
- "I am really happy with working here. I really feel that we have the freedom to be creative and achieve our full potential here. I also feel like there is a great work environment where it is OK to ask questions."
- "We Build Pages is overall a great place to work. It's filled with interesting, creative individuals willing to go the extra mile for the company and the management is great as well."
- "Overall, this is an excellent company with a future that seems almost limitless. Our CEO is genius with his craft and seems to be way ahead of his time. The people who work here are friendly, unselfish, and what I believe to be the best quality, ambitious."
- "They take us on a yearly trip, and this year we are going on a cruise to Bermuda!"
- "I've had many jobs throughout my life and We Build Pages is by far the most amazing company that I've ever worked for. I love coming to work everyday. I love working. I love the people I work with. My manager and owner of the company really, truly care about their employees. The company offers amazing benefits. I feel like this company is a family. I love telling people where I work and how much I love it. I know this all sounds very cheesy, but it's all the truth!"
- "I really love working here. It is the only job I can say that I look forward to going to in the morning. That is saying a lot since I am NOT a morning person by any means. I feel like a kid again when Sunday night comes around and I am excited to go to work the next day."
- "Great place to spend 40 hours per week. Everyone is friends and cares about each other, the company, and its goals."
- "WBP is a place that helps you cultivate creativity while maintaining a great work environment. Not only is everyone extremely knowledgable, but they are all incredibly approachable."
- "Awesome place to work, unlimited free coffee and ice cream. Company Trips. Fantastic team building experiences. Very flexible hours and great company wide communication. This place is leaps and bounds better than any job I've ever had or even heard of."
- "Wonderful place to work. Full of caring, compassionate, flexible people."
- "The work load is split up evenly amongst teams, never making it feel like anyone has too much to handle. It's a friendly environment which makes working easy. When you're comfortable in your work environment you can get more done."
- "Does not rigidly define working hours - sometimes I come in at 8 AM, other times noon. Every month we have a company wide party for everyone whose birthday is that month. We all get free food and drinks and free time to mingle with everyone."
- "Bonuses, free ice cream and ninja stars? Who wouldn't want to work for IMN?"
- "It's just a great atmosphere, it's clear that the company really cares about and values the employees. Strengths are always recognized. Plus it's just a fun place!"
- "Very generous performance based bonuses above our hourly rate. Fantastic communication with all employees and 'higher-ups' in the company. Great feedback and communication with immediate supervisors, always know how well you're doing. BEST PLACE EVER!"
- "The three things WeBuildPages does well, maybe the best are: Create and foster a team based environment in producing quality work. Commit to offering training and learning opportunities for team members to further develop their skill sets and grow as people and professionals. Support a fun, laid-back office environment that is full of unique, interesting people."
- "Cash & trip based incentives. Team-based atmosphere, caring management always looking to help make everyone the best they can be, with plenty of opportunity for individual growth. Generous pay, holiday, 401k, profit sharing."
