Homes.com Software Developer reviews

Lack of advancement and pay for tech roles

- Not once during my tenure at Homes did the business consult the developers for an effort estimate on a project and honor that estimate. The timelines were never based on reality, but the whims of management and external requirements. - Outside contractors were consistently brought in to try and make a project move along faster, despite the outcry from the developers. It always resulted in a ton of extra work: clean up contractor code, make it performant, train the contractors on how to test something... etc. The old analogy holds true: 9 women can't have a baby in a month. - The business does not seem to care about understanding the technology. This is highlighted in the fact that during the press runs for the latest iteration of the site, the search match functionality is referred to as "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence." It's not, it never has been, and it's embarrassing. - Pay is below market for the demanded skills. You can't have boutique requirements and with a sparse budget.
