Honest Buildings Reviews

Just to name a few: - Company exercises its "At Will" and "No cause" clause frequently leaving employees with nothing almost immediately. They apparently even fired one employee in a public coffee shop with public people around! Who does that?! - Marketing leadership was fired in the recession and is paranoid about losing its job at Honest Buildings (HB). They believe themselves to be a godsend in their fields, when in fact they have no idea what they are doing and just delegate tasks and talk loudly at meetings. They want everyone to know that that they are destined to be the future CMO of the company. That's assuming none of them get fired next. - Senior management tries to pretend that HB is a place of thought and discussion, when in reality questioning ways in which tasks can be done is only a quicker way to get fired. The number of people who are there long enough to sign up for healthcare and then get fired 2 weeks later is alarming! - Company recently raised its Series B round (public information on Crunchbase), but if you look closely at the numbers not a single investor wrote a check greater than $1MM. This is most likely because the company missed its projected revenue target for the year and had to beg existing investors to write more checks. While successful in doing so, this is a strong sign that doors will likely be closed permanently very soon. - There is another player, Procore, that has created a similar product and is leagues ahead of HB (think decades ahead). HB tries to talk about how Procore is in Development, while they are in Project Management, but the reality is the products are very similar and it's very easy for Procore to switch focuses and move to Project Management. It's clear that this is an acquisition play. The team is just trying to be around long enough to be bought by Procore. That's assuming they actually decide to do that instead of just move into the space. I'm on my way out, so I want to be as transparent about this company as I can be. If you do decide to work here, please tread very very carefully. This place has been known to ruin careers.

This is a place where people get fired "at will" and with "no cause" and the only difference between you being next or not, is just a matter of time. The leadership team tries to embody a place of "can do attitude" and "vision", but in honesty it's just a place where leadership is trying to bolster their own career and get to the next point in each of their lives with out any regard to your own. It's an organization that is destined to fail either by product, leadership, or competition. No reason to waste your time joining something that is headed to the dumpster. In case you do decide to work here, the only advice I would give you is be very very very careful of the leadership team. They are unstable and irrational and not knowing this fact will lead to your own personal downfall. If you don't believe this review, then please read other employee's disgust for this company. It's all in the negative reviews posted. One more thing to note: the positive reviews are just the leadership team trying to make the company seem better than it is. If you still don't believe me, then look at the dates of when the "positive" reviews are posted. The reviews are all posted on Glassdoor within days of each other. Coincidence? I think not.
