Great benefits and coworkers, but an awful, greedy company
Pros
Great benefits. Great pay. The coworkers I worked with on a daily basis were all very lovely, very talented people. I truly loved my team and direct managers. You learn a lot on the job and get really good at rolling with the punches and adapting to change. I did genuinely enjoy the work itself as well.
Cons
The company does not value employees as individuals. Everything is colored by how much money they can make. That's understandable to an extent, but they take it to a stereotypical greedy corporation level that's just gross. They're prone to mass layoffs, especially now that AI exists. Turnover is high (though it had lowered after my first 1.5 years there) and there were two mass layoffs of Homes.com's creative team during my last year there. The writers alone went from over 170 people to a team of 75ish in Feb 2025, then down to just 18 in Feb 2026's mass layoff. The entire time, even after February 2025, leadership promised that they'd always have enough work for everyone and that they valued a human touch and wouldn't be replacing us with AI...then explicitly told us when they were laying people off that they were replacing us with AI (after they'd used our years of work to get what they wanted and to train said AI). Video, voiceover, and quality assurance teams were also impacted. Additionally, their willingness to accommodate disabilities is minimal. Need a comfy chair for pain or an ergonomic keyboard? They've got you. Need any sort of schedule change or hybrid work situation? No. They will not accommodate. They'll send out emails about diversity, equity, and inclusion all day long, but their actual commitment to it when it comes to disability, at least, is lacking.
