Pros

The company has appointed a CTO who struggles with English and lacks strong communication skills. While he presents himself as friendly, something feels off about him. When questioned about critical engineering aspects of the product infrastructure, he admits he hasn’t coded in a long time, raising concerns about his technical depth. Most CTOs I’ve encountered exude charisma, leadership, and a solid grasp of technology, but he appears to be the complete opposite. In conversations with him, I sense a lack of direction and assertiveness, which is concerning for someone in such a pivotal role.

Cons

Some of the executives and managers do not know the art of talking and managing people.

Pros

I've worked at a number of start ups and a couple unicorns. If you decide to be part of this world you have to accept a certain amount of uncertainty and change. If change doesn't excite you then this isn't for you. This company has really good benefits, a great product and leadership that understands how valuable and important employees are to ensuring the growth and prosperity of the business. I like my team, I like working with others across the company, and I feel like this is a place that gives you what you put into it. If you want to work hard a be apart of something that is growing then you will be rewarded here.

Cons

Remote life can be tough as it is everywhere and in many industries in the sense of creating a company culture and community. Nevertheless we have to keep trying new things which Homesome does.

Thanks for your feedback. We are really proud to offer great medical, dental, and vision along with a 401K program. But, it's really our teams that make us great. We are so happy to have you with us. As part of our priorities, we are developing a plan to help us work remotely more effectively, too. We are really thankful to have colleagues like yourself, who are willing to test and learn with us.
