Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
No leadership team can compare with Houzz Enviro's team!
Transparent and competent and present
Almost nothing. They don't want to hear new ideas, even though they are not on the phones, we are.
Transparency and taking feedback to improve.
Review from Sales Dept
Lots of training and personal attention given to new employees so they can succeed. They promote management from within.
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Clearer vision and transparent communication. Embrace differences in each unique person.
Leading. They dictate rather than lead. They make rash decisions and then change their minds constantly. They lack commitment and are easily influenced by the opinions of others. If they do have a strategy, it's not well defined or understood outside the husband and wife founders.
Review from Engineering Dept
Appointing management with experience outside of Houzz and strong interpersonal skills
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
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Undervalued based on current market and outdated equity standards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.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Genuineky care about you as person
Authenticity is celebrated; engagement is required; sharing is encouraged and supported. We all win together from the top to the bottom.
Review from Sales Dept
I like that they are smart and friendly
Review from Sales Dept
scrappy teammates who generally try hard to help each other
Review from Engineering Dept
Their energy is second to none.
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less politics within a team. Transparency in communication
Everyone need to be more relax instead of complaining about every little thing, and getting away with it.
Discuss better processes to conduct more effective meetings. Remove the micro managing founders who lack context on most challenges and projects from most meetings to help reduce thrashing and erratic guidance. Arrive to meetings on time and with a clear agenda.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Work life balance is great, no stress.
Our team always takes care each other, knowledge, understand, wisdom work and share for each other
Great positive culture for all
Co-worker, manager, leadership. Teams are kept on track with end goals and redirected as needed.
Review from Sales Dept
Beautiful office and catered lunches once a week
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stop with the sexism and female harassment.
Less politics and more competent management. Above all else, more competent leaders who are capable of empowering others to succeed rather than assume they'll fail without the prophetic guidance from the founders, who seem to have all the answers except why their employees are so unsatisfied.
Review from Engineering Dept
Come clean about no promotion paths. Do not circulate false hope.

Review from Sales Dept
Beautiful office and free snacks, coffee and kombucha
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Managers need to allow people to challenge them, provide feedback and apply it. It’s like the suggestion box is the trash can, and only yes men
Review from Sales Dept
Customers are constantly complaining about the products because they don't actually work. Instead of investing in making them work, the founders are focused on finding more ways to get money from customers who won't stick around without getting a major break on price. Listen to your customers.
Review from Engineering Dept
Management extremely hinders morale and low wages makes working here unsustainable.
