Homebound Reviews

* Need to enjoy a fast-moving startup with shifting priorities

Where do I start? There is a real lack of awareness at this company. Awareness in so many areas, the entire executive teams, are the most non-diverse, out of touch leadership team I've ever worked for. The construction industry is incredibly competitive and yes, it's an industry that could use some updated technology, however Homebound needs to be more transparent about what they are trying to build. They hide behind this fake mission of solving the housing problem for people who want to find homes. Well in all reality, they are building million dollar homes for people who are doing o.k. And ask them about how they decided when and where to go into a disaster market which is the original mission. That's all for publicity at this point, they are doing nothing but finding the "disasters" that will make them the most revenue. This is not a mission driven company! Gentrification was brought up at an all hands meeting, ask them about it... our CEO had to hire PR firm to help her address the topic with employees. Why? Because she is so incredibly out of touch with the communities she is claiming to help, she doesn't know how Homebound is actually contributing to this problem, especially in East Austin. Advice: If you are an established construction professional and doing well in your career, stay there! Do not let Homebound try to sell you on working for them. You will likely be asked to take a pretty large pay cut, forgo your bonus, and they will sell you on equity, that you actually will have to pay for when you leave, you WILL leave. Attrition is bad right now, people are leaving in all departments in droves.
