Houzz Employee Reviews about "culture"

Pros

This is the best job I have ever had. Not only is the culture amazing but the management is very helpful and creative. I feel appreciated and valued everyday and can't imagine working for a better company.

Cons

I wish there was a houzz in every state so all of my out of state friends could work here too.

Pros

Houzz has amazed me with it's quality team since the day I applied. Recruiting team is prompt, polite, and helpful. I was blown away by the quality of the training program, never seen anything of this caliber at any other company. Every person I have worked with at Houzz is friendly, professional, and full of joy. Even upper level leadership stays involved with all levels by engaging and listening. Workplace culture is a huge priority and we are consistently involved in resources sent for our personal wellness. There are high expectations for each employee, but the support you get from everyone around you ensures you are set up to succeed. I never imagined a remote position could be so exciting, fun, and well put together. Houzz will be getting better and better for years to come.

Cons

PTO is very generous but unpaid time off guidelines are very rigid.

Pros

Employee & Customer centric environment Great employee benefits Uplifting and supportive company culture Fun work environment Above average pay for Customer Service Paid Training Advancement Opportunities

Cons

there really are no Cons to working at Houzz

Pros

While I've just begun my journey here at Houzz I have nothing but wonderful things to report about my experience. I have actively been working in Sales for over 15 years and I have to say that the support and culture are unmatched. I have never had the privilege of being part of a company that fully commits itself to see the success of its employees come to fruition. Whether you are an established professional, or just beginning your career in the corporate world, you will highly benefit from the bright and successful individuals that work here at Houzz. As their Core Values attest, they really are a company of problem solvers and self-starters who are looking to build the future.

Cons

None that comes to mind.

Pros

- Great company culture (have met some of my favorite people since starting with Houzz 4 years ago!) - Over the years they have restructured the base + commission earnings for the better - Love that we are most likely moving to a hybrid model once US offices do open back up post covid (we did a company survey and they really listened to what we are looking for moving forward)

Cons

- If you’re not a top AE it can be difficult to really hit the jackpot commission wise, but they’re always holding trainings (more than ever before) to really ensure reps are being developed and have lots of opportunity.

Pros

At one point they catered Mendocino Farms for lunch, which was the bee's knees.

Cons

Have you seen the documentaries on Fyre Festival on Hulu or Netflix? Houzz is like the Fyre Festival where it’s a huge sinking ship sold on lies that thousands of people have bought into and ultimately got screwed over. As an potential employee, Houzz will sell you on: - salary that sounds too good to be true - free food and great perks - huge opportunities for growth - transparency - fun vibrant atmosphere What you actually get is an oppressive work culture something similar to the novel 1984. What I experienced first hand was: - a failing product that leaves you with an option of lying your face off to make a sale or simply failing at your job and being shown the door - lies built on overly fake and peppy speeches fed down your throat in every sales meeting with an aperitif of workforce gossip all over the salesfloor I was in the sales team and my colleagues in other departments have had this happen to them: - skype calls where your entire department is let go without warning - being fired less than two weeks before Christmas Before you take a job here, I beg of you to take a gander at one single Fyre documentary because this company is run in a similar fashion. Houzz’s product is based on a beautiful cover and the management team lies through their teeth. They will smile to your face and talk about team spirit and bonding, but you’ll soon learn that it was all a facade with nothing to back it up. Heads up: Houzz encourages new hires to post positive reviews within their first few days to push down the honest reviews made by employees who have been at the company for more than a few weeks. Don’t let Houzz’s HR shady tactics fool you!

Pros

- Friendly and positive culture that encourages self-growth - Have flexibility over hours; just have to meet weekly goals - If you work hard consistently, you will quickly be promoted into a managerial role - Able to try out a variety of projects within Houzz and learn new skills aside market research

Cons

- It has grown quite a bit, but it's still startup, so when there's an emergency project, all hands on deck are needed and that might be difficult for those with busy schedules aside working here

Pros

Coming to work each morning is pleasurable because of the great people and incredible senior management and CEO who run this rapid growing company. The product/company already has revolutionized the industry and on the path for continued growth and success. Management actually cares about your success and personal goals by giving you ALL of the tools to succeed here, which was not the case at my previous company. They keep us highly motivated to work hard and hit our goals by regularly conducting fun contests and incentives (trips, cash, gift cards, etc). Houzz does a great job of balancing the fast-paced sales environment with amazing company perks to keep the enthusiasm and startup culture alive and thriving. From lunches on Fridays to Workout Wednesdays and birthday celebrations, you can tell Houzz does a lot to keep it's employees happy and culture in tact. All of the people here are smart, positive, friendly and highly self-motivated. Plus, amazing medical benefits! I love working here--best company I've ever worked for! -

Cons

No employee matching for those contributing to 401k currently

Pros

I have been in two different positions within the company and can honestly say that management is really supportive. Both pushed me to advance and move my career in the direction that I wanted and provided feedback and advice along the way. The culture is really inclusive of all people and I love everyone that I work with. They also have a monthly 'Cheers for Peers' program that recognizes employee wins and successes.

Cons

Though it is not 100% perfect, the company has made huge strides in transparency and continues to learn from its mistakes.

Pros

They truly care about your growth and invest in you as a person. They want you to grow long term with the company. Houzz treats their employees very well with lunches and fun social events but it's more than that. It's the culture and friendly atmosphere that makes coming into work every day enjoyable. With a great product to stand behind, work at Houzz has been the best experience.

Cons

It is a start up so there are a lot of changes and occasional lack of communication
