Pros

Good location, young international co-workers, OK salary for job-starters.

Cons

Uneasy interactions with the management make the day-to-day work life very stressful and unpleasant. Work schedules are strict: even if you are done with your tasks for the day, leaving 5 minutes earlier is a no-go. Management looks down on co-workers who leave the office at 18:30 sharp, you are expected to work overtime. It’s hard to get days off in general, but asking for a day off during peak season is a very thorny issue. Working in Business Development, Account management or Customer service means spending the whole day talking over the phone with (often unsatisfied) clients.

Pros

Perfect location in the heart of Paris. A young team and an open space office. All the teams such as Marketing, IT, Sales and Customer service are working together.

Cons

Homerez is representing itself as a dynamic and open minded start up. However, your honesty is not wanted, even if they claim it is. Promises are not being kept and talking about days off and your salary becomes a big mission. It leads that you feel uncomfortable and insecure in making little breaks, leaving work on-time, talk to your co workers or even have a look on your phone. You are controlled for every little detail and steps you take. As a start up they need to focus on the money but unfortunately, this pursuit leads to unprofessionalism towards the owners and customers. The most disappointed thing is that your hard work at the end is not even being honored. It is very sad that as for a start up they are using a very strict and old way of managing their people. This company needs people who are not talking, taking commands, working until late and which do not disagree with managers.
