Pros

Free food and great people in Austin.

Cons

Honor is a textbook definition of “Peter’s Principle”. Employees are promoted to “warm a seat” or because they were good at their job and are now managing others. They are also hired on as managers because of their prestigious degrees/previous job titles/previous companies. These so-called managers (also some sr. managers and directors) have no clue on how to coach, hold 1:1 meetings, document, or manage performance. As a result, there is a huge amount of miscommunication, uncertainty, over-hiring, and lack of accountability. The real reason for the layoffs is that these “managers” will hire others to do their jobs or for illogical reasons. Once Honor realizes that they aren’t profitable these “managers” will lay off these employees to hide the fact that they lack competence and to blame it on everything else but themselves. This is why you see lay offs occurring every single year for the past three years. Many of the SF employees are so out of touch they don’t realize the negative effects of their actions when they make decisions. Most of them can’t even comprehend the realities of our caregivers and what it’s like to work a low-paying job in a high risk health care environment. Not sure why Honor pays for HR or L&D because they don’t do anything for the employees or the company. If anything, they are just puppets to these “managers.”

Honor Response

We appreciate your feedback on your experience at Honor. The people in the Austin office and the team culture here is really great, and we’re glad to hear that they were a bright spot in your time with Honor. Regarding managers, we have had several organizational changes as we continue to test and learn the best organizational model for our unique business, which unfortunately has led to difficult, but necessary layoffs. We do have confidence in the geographically aligned operation model that we’ve recently moved to, and our hope is that we can now build the right structured team and grow all of our people, managers included, to excel in their roles. As for our People team, including our HRBPs and Learning and Development, we have recently made investments in this team to further support all employees at Honor, regardless of role or level. We also appreciate your feedback about connecting our corporate teams in San Francisco to our field operations teams. We have taken this feedback and have made more efforts in 2020 to connect our leaders in San Francisco to our daily operations in Care, which has been proving fruitful.

Pros

-decent wages -catered lunch daily -snacks and beverages in kitchen

Cons

-drastic decline in company culture in the past two years -inexperienced department mangers and senior leadership -leadership often doesn't know how to interact positively with staff (saying "good morning" or "how are you?" can go a long way with staff) -unapproachable HR -several layoffs instilling lack of job security -catty culture of women hating women -benefit package as a whole isn't great (but it is still considered a startup)
