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.

Pros

Coworkers are great because you're going through the same thing together. With that being said, proceed to the cons

Cons

Where do I start? - Poor Management - Poor Leadership - Poor Operations - No room for growth - Extremely small pay - No overtime pay but expected to work 14 hour days - Zero work life balance - Can't go to your Manager with a concern without being placed on a PIP because they're ready to fire anyone for no reason - Turning Homecare into Amazon - Can care less about the Caregivers. PAY THEM MORE!!!! They claim to but they can really care less about them - To put the cherry on top, they like to approved requested time off and then reverse it after being approved and tell you that you can't go on your approved time off because you need to work holidays.
