Pros

Opendoor is a swinging for the fences kind of company with a team of truly incredible people going after a gigantic opportunity. The company is building and growing so quickly that the rate at a which the team is learning is super fast, which makes for a dynamic work environment because the challenges you are tackling shift week to week. The people are a remarkable combination of very smart without a ton of ego and everyone seems oriented towards building long-term value for the customer as opposed to short-term tactics to hit the numbers. Most startups say they value transparency and honesty but Opendoor actually does, both internally within the team and externally with customers. Everyone at the company works very hard but the company is flexible about letting people work from home and employees are encouraged take time off, which is refreshing in comparison to the many companies who say they have these policies but no one feels comfortable using them.

Cons

None really. Like any fast-growing startup, there are natural growing pains that the company goes through particular as we continue to onboard new people, teams expand and communication channels change.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

I spent four years at Opendoor and back in 2021 This was a great company to work for. We had great benefits were remote and the pay was competitive. Opendoor tonight me a lot and I was able to refine my skills through hundreds of new leads every month. The role of home Sales advisor requires a large knowledge base and comes with a lot of autonomy and responsibility. Historically they have had a really hard time hiring from the outside and most new hits don’t last one year.

Cons

Frequent layoffs a culture of fear and mistrust. In 4 years I survived 6 rounds of layoffs. The new ceo has caused a lot of problems mainly by repeating the same mistakes we made before.
