Great training is absolutely an essential part of the employee experience. Our aim is to create a workplace where we provide both the training people need to be exceptional in their roles and the training that allows them to develop and grow their careers. To help us get there, we recently added a Director of Learning and Development to the Opendoor team. Under her leadership we've rolled out manager training as well as functional training as a first step in building out a best in class training program.
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
Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro.
Aggressive AI usage
Cons
996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee)
New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others.
SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently.
Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
