Pros

I'm constantly impressed by coworkers. It's awesome to glean experience from people with varied backgrounds (mortgage-backed securities; the Fed; OpenAI; math and physics PhDs). Amazing company growth without sacrificing culture. We have a bunch of off-sites to make sure everyone stays connected. Very collaborative culture. Able to maintain sense of ownership without "turf". Quite open to cross-team collaboration. I like that company OKR cycles are 2 months instead of quarterly. This gives us freedom to insert a hackathon, takes some pressure off the winter holidays, and keeps us iterating more quickly. Great office environment and office management.

Cons

I'm looking forward to more engineering leadership. I love that we've promoted from within but current EMs are still gaining experience.

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.
