Pros

I've worked in 3 tech companies in the previous 8 years. I never imagined that a workplace like Honey could possibly exist. It is the most unpolitical, open minded, and transparent company I've worked at. The level of engineering talent here is unbelievable. This may be the honeymoon phase talking but so far I'm drinking the koolaid.

Cons

I was assigned some fairly important tasks 2 weeks after I started. It's great to feel like I'm making an impact, but it was stressful as hell!

Pros

Before the acquisition by PayPal, Honey was the best employer I ever had. Good benefits, good perks, diverse and supportive working environment, interesting and challenging work, amazing coworkers.

Cons

Acquisition by PayPal was basically the end of the party, they systematically erased any remnants of the company culture and the entire mission became focused on nothing but the quarterly returns for investers. PayPal had no idea what to do with Honey's technology or incredibly valuable brand and it just withered.

Pros

PREVIOUSLY... - Smart people, great culture, true friendships and learning opportunities. - Really cool product. - Many women in tech. - Good work life balance. Acquisition by PayPal dramatically slowed things down and changed the culture though

Cons

After acquisition by PayPal, priorities changed and resulted in disagreements by old leadership/teammates. Some good engineering leaders were replaced with uncaring and nontechnical ones. Most of the best engineers left. It's boring/slow, but not a terrible place to work at.
