High turnover, no room to grow

Pros

-Catered lunch -Passionate, intelligent and no-ego colleagues -High impact work that (hypothetically) improves both client and caregiver lives

Cons

Client Management at Honor is a dead end. You will grind it out daily trying to keep your head above water with a workload that can only be described as suffocating. Even more so if you work with a partner, which is most people now that this is the model driving the company's growth. What's worse is that once you have mastered your role and proven you are ready for more responsibility, there is nowhere for you to advance. The culture is extremely "heads down" and each pod is pretty isolated from the others, which is creating a real morale problem. Most people in the role feel so maxxed out that it's a rare occasion to have any social interaction with anyone outside of your immediate team. Honor is so focused on the client/partner/caregiver experience that they have severely neglected the people who are holding operations all together. More and more will be added to your plate to the point of total burnout. This is treated as the norm and has resulted in frequent resignations and no doubt many more to come. Don't expect any "thank yous" or pats on the back when you make a miracle happen - perfection is the expectation. Growth from client management is very stagnant and there appears to be no plan in place to offer further career development and growth beyond CM, unless you're interested in a lateral move or demotion. If the business doesn't have anywhere for Client Managers to grow, then Honor will continue to lose great employees.

Pros

It's refreshing how diverse and mission-driven the company is, it's great to see so many different people working towards the same goals. People are really humble and everyone works really hard. The pace is fast but decisions are made with a lot of thoughtfulness, which I really appreciate. The growth of the company is really great, I've never experienced the transparency the managers have with employees.

Cons

Some parts of the company still lack some structure and process but that's understandable given that it's still a startup and growth is happening. If you don't work well in a fast-changing environment, Honor isn't for you.

Pros

The team at Honor is the most diverse and cooperative group of people I have ever worked with. Honor operates in a unique and complex industry, which I think attracts more mission-driven and empathetic employees. I believe in the leadership's ability to make Honor a successful company, as the founders are seasoned and have previously founded companies (which were also successful). It has a much more family-oriented culture than other startups I have worked at (or heard about second-hand), which means that work-life balance is really important. As a product designer, it's a very interesting place to work, because of the complexity of the problems we're solving and the wide differences in our audiences.

Cons

Honor lacks some of the perks that can be found at larger companies in San Francisco. We don't have gym stipends, kegerators, or in-house chefs. (In the SF office, we have catered lunch 3 days a week and a stocked kitchen, and that's fine with me.) In general, I would say the non-comp perks may be relatively modest compared to other venture-backed startups. I know keeping our burn rate low increases the odds of Honor being successful long term, so I personally don't think it's a big deal.
