Fully remote work is the only benefit worth mentioning. The rest are average and below average.

There's almost no transparency, no way to hold the leadership accountable, feels like a shining ship.

Pros of working at Houzz

Fully remote work and reasonable work like balance, but that varies by team.

What do you like best about Houzz's CEO and the leadership team?

Nothing, the CEO allows and encourages the most shady business practices. He micromanages everything. Customers most always leave bad reviews and no one cares

How would you improve Houzz's culture?

Replace the CEO, CFO, CPO, CTO clean house most of the leadership is terrible.

This question isn't really relative. They haven't en masse in years. Most hires are critical backfills once an employee gets wise and moves on.

Fully remote work, a reasonable work life balance, and the layoffs keep me here.

Pros of working at Houzz

The company paid it's people on time.

Cons of working at Houzz

The company started out as a very dynamic company, but soon it was clear the leadership team lacked any knowledge of retail or business fundamentals and sorely lacked leadership outside of a sales culture that was lead by the nose with Starbucks giftcards. The company only valued females who were yes'gals. Smiley and typical, nonsensical-bubbly dispositions, were revered more than real world experience and the company was always reluctant to ask difficult questions, let alone face the realities of the business. The fact they the company as to day, 2/26/2024 has not gone IPO or had an exit strategy since the company inception in 2006 (how the investors continue to let this happen is beyond me), shows you the extraordinary lack of leadership. The company blew through millions of dollars opening overseas offices, over hiring low wage employees, over marketing, only to find out that when the rubber hit the road, they didn't have the chops to take the company public after several CFO exits, including the CFO from LinkedIn, who quickly departed after seeing the absurdity of the leadership team.

Houzz benefits

Free Nespresso coffee and snacks.

What do you like best about Houzz's CEO and the leadership team?

Zero, nothing, the CEO was miserable person who was a know-it-all, usually even pushing her husband around who was the President. The rest of the leadership team acquiesced to save their paychecks.

How would you improve Houzz's culture?

Fire the CEO and President, and start over.

How does your compensation at Houzz compare to the industry average?

The compensation as you will see from their peers is far below average. Dont' bother.

What's the diversity at Houzz like?

Not diverse, mostly women, mostly young and inexperienced caucasians.

What brings you the most joy at Houzz?

Leaving for the day.
