Pros

used to be many more pros- health insurance is decent

Cons

Since being acquired by PayPal, Honeys culture and values have gone down the drain. I don’t believe this is uncommon when an old school company with very corporate mindset acquires a startup. That said, if you’re ok with a mediocre salary, having a leadership team who doesn't care at all about your growth and therefore work as little as possible, This is the place for you.

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.
