Honeycomb | $55,000
Steph's Notes:
Join us in disrupting real estate insurance!
Do I have to?
Our unique strength lies in our team, united by a big-picture goal that we all support - we win together.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sure whoever came up with that is very nice. But my god, how many times can one person be expected to read the same company mission/vision statement? Even I have my limits.
Also, oh my god the music in their offsite highlight reel. The sweeping camera work. The editing. You're not scoring the winning goal against the USSR, it's not the Miracle on Ice, it's a conference at a fucking Marriott. Can we bring it down a notch, Honeycomb?
(Again, I'm sure everyone had a great time! But this is exhausting. You're exhausting your candidates before they even get to the job description! You're doing too much!)
Okay, so there's a link to their Glassdoor reviews, which is nice, but...I'll be honest with you, I don't really trust what's there for this company. For starters, there aren't that many (seems like a young company), and the good reviews are very brief. It feels...orchestrated, but that could definitely just be my cynicism. The bad reviews, although few, are more detailed, which makes them somewhat more credible to me, but this is one of those things where your mileage may definitely vary.
At Honeycomb, we're not just building technology; we’re reshaping the future of insurance.
Oh look! A shiny new nickel!
But this isn't just a support role
What's wrong with it being just a Support role?
Our CS team sits at the center of everything at Honeycomb, and the people in these seats today have a real opportunity to shape how we work, influence the processes we put in place, and leave a lasting mark on a company that has built a strong foundation and is now accelerating.
Oh, I bet the salary reflects that impact! Right? RIGHT?
Base Salary: $55,000
Yeah, that checks out.
Other bits that led to a solid BINGO: fast-paced environment, need to multitask and de-escalate, and office meals, team events, and an in-office gym memberships presented as benefits.
Original Job Description: Customer Success Representative
Honeycomb Insurance
At Honeycomb, we're not just building technology; we’re reshaping the future of insurance.
In 2025, Honeycomb was recognized by Dun & Bradstreet as “Top 10 Best Start Up Companies to Work For” in Israel, named by LinkedIn as “Top 10 Startups in Chicago”, and Newsweek’s "Greatest Startup Workplaces in America, 2025". Through the first half of 2026 we’ve been recognized on Inc. Magazine’s "Best Workplaces" List and Forbes "Fintech 50".
How did we earn these honors?
Honeycomb is a rapidly growing global startup, generously backed by top-tier investors and powered by an exceptional team of thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers. Dual-headquartered in Chicago and Tel Aviv (R&D center), and with 6 offices across the U.S., we are reinventing the commercial real estate insurance industry, an industry long overdue for disruption. Just as importantly, we ensure every employee feels deeply connected to our mission and one another.
With over $100B in insured assets, Honeycomb operates across 23 states, covering more than 65% of the U.S. population and increasing its coverage.
If you’re looking for a place where innovation is celebrated, culture actually means something, and smart people challenge you to be better every day - Honeycomb might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
What You'll Do
As a Customer Success Representative (CSR), you'll be the first point of contact for our agents and policyholders -- answering questions, resolving issues, and delivering a consistently positive experience across phone, email and chat. This is a phone-first role where you'll manage both call, email and chat queues throughout the day, so staying organized and on top of multiple channels is key.
But this isn't just a support role -- it's a chance to be part of something being built in real time. Our CS team sits at the center of everything at Honeycomb, and the people in these seats today have a real opportunity to shape how we work, influence the processes we put in place, and leave a lasting mark on a company that has built a strong foundation and is now accelerating.
- Respond to inbound calls and emails with timely, accurate, and professional service -- phones are the priority.

Who Thrives Here
Honeycomb is growing fast, and still writing parts of the playbook. If you've ever wanted to work somewhere where your ideas actually get heard and your fingerprints end up on how a company operates -- this is that place. The people who do best here tend to share a few things in common:

- You're curious about insurance. You don't need to be an expert on day one, but you want to understand how it works and get better at it over time.
- You're tech-forward and AI-curious. You pick up new tools quickly, you're not intimidated by systems, and you're genuinely interested in how AI is changing the way teams work.
- You manage your workload well. Whether you're on a call or working through emails, you stay on top of what needs attention and keep things moving.
- You work well in a small team. Everyone can see everyone's work here. You communicate openly, help when needed, and take ownership of your piece.
