Pros

The work is exciting and worth doing. The people are very smart, and generally very nice. It's a really decent operation overall. They're onto something big and they know it.

Cons

The goals are massively agressive. The tension between doing things fast and doing things right can be a bit overboard. Hiring experienced people however is hard, and they need to hire a lot to fuel their growth. I don't think they have a choice but to hire less experienced people to grow their engineering and data science teams, and they're not well equipped to manage and coach less experienced people. Teams can be restructured fast, and work environment changes are chaotic, and the result isn't always great.

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.
