Pros

Amazing people + workplace Extremely casual Tightly knit team Some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. You can share anything with these guys. For the time I was there.. the workplace, the people there were my life. Its like when you join a fraternity or a new club where everyone is like your best friend who loves you too for who you are.

Cons

Founders literally don't know what in the world they are doing. (Seriously). There are 4 "co-founders" in the team-> too many chef's spoils the food. Super desperate. Running out of money anytime. Bro culture exists if you are okay with that... even if they feel its not the case. Weak tech. Lots of competition in the space. You will not have job security working here. Business model changes every week Selling techniques change twice every day. Co-founders LOVE talking big. All they do is just talk. Never any actions.

Hi there, Thanks so much for this candid feedback. We're very sorry for the negative experience that you had, and we have been working hard since you were employed with us in 2016/2017 to ensure the company has improved on all the fronts you've mentioned. Starting a company is difficult, and as you witnessed for the first year of Humi's existence, can be very chaotic at times. To be specific, some of the steps we've taken in the past 2 years are: - Adding more structure to the org-chart to ensure everyone has clear roles and responsibilities. - As we've scaled from 10 to 40 people, we've brought on people from all walks of life to provide a breadth of viewpoints. - We have solidified a business model and product focus over the past few years, which has helped us grow to where we are today. We have more work to do, as in our eyes there is always room for improvement. As we scale the team from 40 to 100, we will continue to take in feedback, and make the necessary adjustments to achieve the best results possible for Humi as a whole. We hope you've landed in a great spot with your new role, and thanks once again for your candid feedback for us. - Humi

Pros

People you talk to are generally really nice. Used to have 4.5 days work week, flexible work schedule, fully remote.

Cons

There is a significant issue with employee retention; the high turnover rate makes it difficult to maintain team morale. The management style is heavily focused on micromanagement with several meetings every week, which limits individual autonomy and trust. Leadership feels disconnected from the day-to-day operations, leading to a lack of clear direction. There are very few paths for internal promotion or professional development after the acquisition from 200 to 1500 employees overnight.
