Pros

• The company is growing rapidly and seems likely to succeed • There's a clear product/market fit for what Opendoor provides • Convenient office location, daily catered lunch • Some very kind, talented engineers

Cons

• Ask an Opendoor employee about Opendoor, and they will say "Everyone here is so smart!" True, there are a lot of smart people at Opendoor. There are also a lot of mediocre narcissists. • Long hours, little recognition, immense pressure to produce work. Little to no support from coworkers. Environment is exceedingly political - doing quality work matters much less than the appearance of doing quality work. • 'The mission' is just a lever that the exec team likes to pull to attempt to improve morale. It rings hollow and meaningless and work feels that way too. • Pay is below for average for the SF market

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.
