Pros

Experience in the tech industry

Cons

Everything. Management was toxic. Many times I'd hear them talk about employees like they were dirt. It was horrible. Pay is low. Watched like a hawk at all times doing everything to keep the company going while management doesn't do anything but gossip and take long breaks. Covid layoffs left employees behind in the pandemic. People are afraid to post bad reviews. I was told "Don't leave a bad review because we'll figure out who you are." when I was hired.

This is John, the CEO. I'm proud of the experience that our team has at Homebase, so I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time here. You know I take it seriously, even during an incredibly hard year like 2020. While we generally receive high marks here and in all of our internal surveying, I'm going to look into some of your feedback here to make sure we're doing our best as a company.

Pros

San Francisco office is conveniently located, clean and functional. Catered lunches Lots of opportunities to learn and apply AI Overall a stable and profitable company Competitive pay, okay benefits. Serves small businesses

Cons

Longstanding leadership still functions like it's a scrappy Series A and are not adapting to what an established mid-sized businesses needs. Comically unrealistic goals, seemingly no long-term strategy, and an obsession with “working fast”. The constant pivoting feels like spinning in place, not forward progress. Obvious good old boy club across the org. They will close ranks and sabotage revenue if they feel threatened by a woman. Middle managers are afraid to be honest with leadership about problems. Heads of departments don't know company-wide priorities. Get mad at ICs for following those priorities instead of jumping to their pet projects. Competitive, defensive, and cliquey environment. Trying to facilitate cross functional teamwork is met with suspicion and contempt.
