Pros

Working at Honor feels like a hybrid of doing innovative, fast paced startup work and on the ground social work. This is not a company where there are ping pong tables in the office and happy hours every evening. People who work here take the work seriously and find it very rewarding. Instead of "work hard, play hard" the motto here is more "work hard and go home." I find this incredibly refreshing in Silicon Valley where there is often more of an emphasis on perks and benefits than the actual mission of the company. Honor attracts very smart and diverse people who are personally invested in changing the face of home care. I'm proud to work here and really feel like the work I'm doing is making a difference.

Cons

There are high expectations for your quality of work at Honor and if you are not meeting those expectations, you may feel like you're constantly swimming upstream. This is the reality of a fast-paced company. There are a lot of org changes, our offices are cramped, and our leadership expects you to keep up. I wouldn't describe the culture as cut-throat, I would describe it as ambitious and forward-looking.

Honor is definitely a mission-based startup and we're really proud of the impact we're having on the industry and our local communities. It makes us really happy that you feel connected to the work you are doing to help so many people. We really value ownership at Honor, but we don't want that to come at the expense of getting the full support of the team or resources you need to succeed. We are currently investing time and thoughts into better training and communication so that people don't feel overwhelmed. Thank you for your advice, we're definitely taking it! We are trying to open up as many internal feedback channels as possible so that people feel heard and we can aggregate all the best ideas!

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.
