Pros

- Company's mission is focused on people and helping small businesses grow. - Top performers can pivot into roles by networking within the company. Getting in where you fit in is easy if the timing is right. - Everyone is an owner! Homebase offers equity to all employees. - Great medical, dental, and vision insurance + other perks. - Our CEO and executives offer transparency regarding funding, future runway, and success of Homebase. - Bi-annual performance reviews and opportunities for pay increases once per year - Dedicated to initiatives focused on DEI and keeping the teams connected via virtual & in-person events, happy hours, and offsites.

Cons

- Homebase moves fast and has opportunities to implement more structure. You have to have the ability to problem solve on your own and work with ambiguity to thrive here. - CX leadership and some executives are out of touch with their frontline worker's lifestyles and livelihoods. We must remember why we are building a tool to make work easier for hourly employees. We have many opportunities to look in the mirror and ensure we are supporting our hourly workers to thrive. - Homebase is not a remote-first company. If you are looking for remote positions, Homebase is not for you. - Salaries are average or slightly below market, but leadership offers transparency about their benchmarking philosophies, and top performers are rewarded.

Pros

Excellent leadership, smart and humble coworkers, and a product that genuinely solves the challenges of real small business owners — great if you’re mission-focused. The company is also super well positioned to navigate the AI transition through smart internal bets and the scale we’ve already built.

Cons

We’re so ambitious! It’s important we pull back and focus on doing fewer things extremely well.

Pros

San Francisco office is conveniently located, clean and functional. Catered lunches Lots of opportunities to learn and apply AI Overall a stable and profitable company Competitive pay, okay benefits. Serves small businesses

Cons

Longstanding leadership still functions like it's a scrappy Series A and are not adapting to what an established mid-sized businesses needs. Comically unrealistic goals, seemingly no long-term strategy, and an obsession with “working fast”. The constant pivoting feels like spinning in place, not forward progress. Obvious good old boy club across the org. They will close ranks and sabotage revenue if they feel threatened by a woman. Middle managers are afraid to be honest with leadership about problems. Heads of departments don't know company-wide priorities. Get mad at ICs for following those priorities instead of jumping to their pet projects. Competitive, defensive, and cliquey environment. Trying to facilitate cross functional teamwork is met with suspicion and contempt.
