Pros

- Incredibly ambitious mission and business model, with the team to execute it - Incredible growth, from nothing to multiple percent marketshare in the first markets in 2 years. - Actually difficult problems to solve, from data science to engineering, marketing. - The company gives you a lot of rope to take ownership and make an impact - Company is focused and executes really quickly. We solve every problem we encounter. - Kind teammates, deep support, empathetic, no snark culture - Nearly nobody has left in the first 100 people to join

Cons

Growing quickly has pros and cons, but Opendoor has avoided most of the issues I've seen in past startups. Salary is lower than you'll get at a Google or Facebook, but in line with market and I think the equity has a lot of upside.

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.
