      Not a good place to work.

      Pros

      Good people work there. Management is clueless They have about 10 mangers for 60 people. To many chiefs, not enough Indians kinda thing. Don't believe all the positive reviews. I was I.T. Although I was not management, I would sit in on the management meeting. They ask the new sales people to write a review. Of course they are not going to say this place sucks if their manger asks them to write a review. So take the positive reviews with a grain of salt. Being a cold call sales person is not an easy. They has a very high turn over. The worst I've seen in any company. On average, about 10 people quit a month, and they hire about the same .. Some of the sales people make good money, most don't. If you're going to work the I.T. side? Its not a normal I.T. job. They will ask you to do a lot of unrelated tasks such as cleaning refrigerators, building cubicles, putting together chairs, and desks. Painting walls, hanging and framing pictures. Putting together trophy cabinets. Foosball tables. Basket ball hoops. I swear, I'm not making this up....lol!If they order something that's not put together, you guessed it, The I.T. department is putting it together. It can be very frustrating. Have been in the I.T. field for 20 years, I have never seen a company treat their I.T. department like that especially when they have a half dozen managers just standing around doing nothing all day. If you're looking for a temp job to make the ends meet? Its do able. A career? Not so much. Worked there for a year and a half, no raise. Only pays about $21.00 an hour. The only true benefit for working for Homes? There is some nice people that work there. But I would not recommend this job. There's better ones out there.....

      Cons

      Dead end job No advancement.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. As 1 of only 2 IT professionals in our San Diego sales office, I can understand how your experience does not reflect the experience of the sales team members and the majority of the employees in the office. Meetings directed toward them regarding sales activity, goals, new product rollouts and enhancements, etc. would certainly not resonate with you in the same way. Still, we appreciate the feedback and we'll make sure we take it into account as we seek to hire new helpdesk personnel. Thanks again.

      A decent place to start

      Pros

      - Great learning environment for working with a lot of different technologies at scale. - You can get away with doing nothing here for years... or you can work hard, learn a lot, and pivot to a top class company with a wealth of experience.

      Cons

      - Not once during my tenure at Homes did the business consult the developers for an effort estimate on a project and honor that estimate. The timelines were never based on reality, but the whims of management and external requirements. - Outside contractors were consistently brought in to try and make a project move along faster, despite the outcry from the developers. It always resulted in a ton of extra work: clean up contractor code, make it performant, train the contractors on how to test something... etc. The old analogy holds true: 9 women can't have a baby in a month. - The business does not seem to care about understanding the technology. This is highlighted in the fact that during the press runs for the latest iteration of the site, the search match functionality is referred to as "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence." It's not, it never has been, and it's embarrassing. - Pay is below market for the demanded skills. You can't have boutique requirements and with a sparse budget.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. Having been in many different positions within the organization, I can say I agree with some of the points you make. Like many companies, management has at times tried to accelerate development by trying to augment staff with contractors and such. Third parties can sometimes help, but they are no silver bullet, and come with an entire set of risks. We are focused on, and committed to helping give our talented tech teams the resources they need to get things done, and the voice to help spearhead change and improvements. Our senior leaders understand technology and associated processes much more now than ever, so it is an exciting time for us. We've come a long way in this last year, and are looking forward to the future. I also think it's a testament to the senior Dev leaders here that we do have so many marquee names constantly trying to recruit our team members. We do challenging work, with latest technology, and we will definitely continue to do so.

      Worst culture I ever experienced

      Pros

      There were great co workers but most of them left, so I guess this is a con instead of a pro. A pro is that they do not really micro manage.

      Cons

      If you have no morals or integrity than this is your place to make money. People have no back bone here.

      Disappointing to receive this review. I'm sorry that we weren't a fit for you. We have excellent employees in San Diego who have high ethical standards. Many of these folks have been with us 5+ years. We're very proud of that tenure and very proud of each of them.
