Mixed Experience at Houzz: Concerns About Job Outsourcing - Software Engineer Houzz Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. On the positives - thank you mentioning the opportunities you had to solve interesting problems at Houzz! On the cons - decisions that impact people are incredibly difficult for any company and are never taken lightly. With transparency, like many tech companies, we did have a reduction in our teams as we weathered a down economy. And certainly if this is having an impact on our remaining team members, myself and other leaders are open to ideas on what more we can do to support. I also want to point out that we greatly value the work our teams in Taiwan and Nepal do to contribute as part of a global organization and to our culture and see these as strategic decisions to support the growth of the company - not outsourcing. If you’d like to share more, I am open to hearing your feedback. Gary Yue, VP Engineering, (gary@houzz.com)
