Houzz Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Annual binus plan for all

Good medical coverage, dental, and vision for a good price.

Benefits are absolutely superior and commission is motivating.

Review from Sales Dept

Good base, excellent heath benefits that start day 1, catered breakfast and lunch once a week and fair commission

Review from Sales Dept

equity packages are generally healthy. base could be higher but improvements have recently been made in that area

Review from Engineering Dept

The bonus structure is lucrative and the company offers an extremely gracious ramp-up period for their sales executives.

Review from Sales Dept

I feel like we are well taken care of.

Review from Communications Dept

Good co-works and happy atmospher

Review from Engineering Dept

On the sales team, the best thing about compensation is that the more you sell, the more money you make. Uncapped commissions are a huge +

Review from Sales Dept

Good stock component

Review from Engineering Dept

ability to be in some control of my own

The benefits are amazing- this by far is the best insurance that I've had being employed in California.

Benefits paid for 100% by Houzz!

Uncapped Commissions!

Review from Sales Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Undervalued based on current market and outdated equity standards

Poor basic pay and unrealistic targets for your bonus. High stress and room for growth or promotion. Avoid this company at ALL costs.

There is no plan or interest in helping develop from within the company. Managers are hired, not developed within the company. There is no plan for compensation growth unless you work very closely with the founders, who expect you to do as they say and at all hours to show them you're worthy.

Review from Engineering Dept

There is no promotion path and raises are seldom seen. Your only option for a salary increase is to leave the company and find it elsewhere.
