Pros

I've been a "Homie" for a bit more than a year and I really like it here. I feel we are very mission driven from the bottom to the top (help small businesses) and it's a great group of people to work with. Our leadership team is very transparent with how the business is doing (the good and the not as good) and have created a culture of hard work and having fun. Every single employee can make a difference in how Homebase is doing if they are willing to work hard and find solutions (instead of just pointing out problems). I feel like the people here (all the way through the leadership team) genuinely care about me and my well-being as a human, and not just as an employee. I'm very happy at Homebase and feel excited about the future.

Cons

Most similar companies (small VC backed tech companies) offer flexible PTO policies, so having to once again manage days off is tedious, especially in your first year while you are accumulating days. They have recently taken some steps to try to improve on this policy.

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.
