Pros

I've never seen so many hardworking people in one place. Everyone is bright and innovative. Employees are top notch and would really be able to add value and growth if given the chance. Broker's are very helpful and knowledgeable, they taught me so much!

Cons

Work life balance, even if you work 15 hour days 7 days a week, you're considered "negligent and untrustworthy" if you ask for a day off. Management has no idea what they're doing, no experience or knowledge about real estate in general Free lunch doesn't make up for the fact that you're under paid. "We're a startup" Is the excuse for everything. How long can you actually be a startup anyway? Just a word of advice, calling your self a startup makes you seem inexperienced to industry peers. The SF office has a reputation of a "you can't sit with us" mentality. Pay was slashed, I brought it up and was told "You should focus on doing what's best for Opendoor." Huh? I can't pay my mortgage with "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.
