Pros

You will get a ton of laughs each day as the company is run by an extremely dysfunctional family who have to schedule meetings to talk to each other. They all have differing opinions on everything and as soon as you are guided one way to do something, you will almost immediately find another family member contradicting that and telling you to do the exact opposite. It's a joke. What's even funnier is they think you care about all their family drama (like when they interrupt meetings to snap at each other or speak ill of other family members or co-workers and they speak badly about everyone - even people that have been loyal to them for years)! These are the pros!

Cons

Some of the worst people I've ever worked with. Backstabbers, liars, ungrateful for how hard you work for them. They are never satisfied and the family never stops telling you how little you do for them and how you should be doing even more and they will never offer to pay you an extra cent for taking on responsibilities that are well out of the scope of your job. Let's not forget that they promoted a known sexual predator and covered it up to the employees and they think that nobody knows! EVERYBODY KNOWS! Do not trust this family at all because they will lie to your face and make you hunt down information that they could have easily told you. I deeply regret working for such a vile cast of characters. Many department heads departed all at once because they couldn't take working for such terrible people.

Pros

Absolutely No Pros at all

Cons

Founders are family members who have no idea what to build and how to get it done and have absolutely no idea about technology. They ask engineers what the company should do next. They lied to investors about products. They make sales and promise dates for the products that they don't even have or haven't even spoke about them internally. Managers struggle to create work for their engineers and then they task them with random stuff to do. Management talks a lot about vision and try to create enthusiasm but it's all just fake. Lot of politics. They merged with a company scheduleengine few years ago but try to hide it from the market. Scheduleengine clients thinks of homex as competition hence they hide it and assigns 2 emails to engineers with homex and scheduleengine domain names. If an engineer is tasked to work on something related to scheduleengine, they ask them to change their LinkedIn profile to working at scheduleengine rather than homex or hide their LinkedIn profile. They created a Augmented Reality demo to impress the investors and are asking engineers to build something similar for the next round of fund raising. Whereas they have no product vision or any idea what augmented reality is. They took Google sample app and modified it a bit. A lot of good engineers, managers, product managers, directors left the company. And a lot more are looking to move out. Founders unethically wanted to fire CTO and asked a VP to take their side and put blame for their own faults on the CTO. The VP didn't do it and left the company and the CTO quit as well. Then none of the executive management appeared at the town hall and asked another director to conduct townhall and also sent an email saying that VP and CTO are no longer with the company giving an impression that they were fired. When I got the job they really tried to sell the company hard to me during interviews but then the reality was totally opposite. If you have scheduled interview with this company .. RUN AWAY. Only join this company if you don't like your life. Even interns do not want to come back to this company. This startup is the worst of all times.

Pros

- People on the ground are awesome, hard working and have good intention - HomeX has a great mission

Cons

- Leadership sucks composed of family and friends with drama - Career growth correlates to how much cradling of the fragile ego CTO you're willing to do - Hiring practices are laughable and are not grounded in common sense causing a lot of friction and hurting culture - HR is disorganized with high turnover. Can't seem to decided on any HR tools causing a lot of friction, disorganization and loss of important documents with inaccurate data like the number of vacation days
