Pros

- WFH - Use modern tooling - People are nice

Cons

- It's not a SaaS business, they brute force growth through sales. They work very different than a traditional SaaS company. - The product itself has many rough edges and tech debt. - Questionable overall business strategy - Founders feel disconnected and are not driving the business meaningfully. Checked out. - CEO is VERY old school in philosophy. Militaristic, regimented, "alignment." Uses archaic leadership styles that instill fear, not trust. - Tech leadership lacks experience building and scaling eng teams. Archaic practices like tops-down sprint planning, daily release trains across entire org, OKRs with no accountability, bug squashing for the point of bug squashing. - Tech teams are in low cost centers with contractors, not US. Challenging work environment. - On average, leadership is under qualified for their position and simply got there by being early to HCP before growth phase. With a tops-down org, this makes it difficult to drive work forward. - Pay is poor compared to other opportunities in SaaS. Benefits are bad, no 401k match, equity is meaningless, etc.

Pros

I enjoyed the opportunity to work directly with customers and help them get started with Housecall Pro. The role helped me build strong skills in communication, problem-solving, product education, and customer success. I also appreciated working with teammates who cared about helping customers and supporting one another.

Cons

There were recurring issues with commissions being paid correctly, which created frustration and made it difficult to feel confident in the compensation structure. For a role with performance-based pay, commission tracking and payouts need to be accurate, transparent, and timely. There were also processes in place that often felt more focused on activity than actual impact. Some workflows did not seem to drive clear value for customers or create additional revenue for the company, which made the work feel inefficient at times. Priorities and expectations could shift, and it sometimes felt like the team was being asked to follow processes without enough evidence that they were improving outcomes.
