Pros

The company has good intentions to disrupt the real estate industry

Cons

Leadership team is oblivious. They think that all they have to do is throw money to people to hire them or get them to stay. What they don't realize is that money doesn't solve for a toxic company culture, lack of leadership values, strategy or direction, and subpar technology. Employees are burned out, overworked and underpaid. Also doesn't matter if you have more experience than your manager, they will hire you below them and pay you less. Very little promotion opportunity. We are asked to take surveys to gauge how we feel about the company and our job. Results clearly show that employees are NOT happy. They pretend to do busy work to improve this but it never goes anywhere. Employees are also pressured to write positive reviews so the company can make it on lists like Best Places to Work. It's all a fake facade.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. We use this information to improve processes and elevate employee experiences. We do ask our team members to provide feedback through surveys throughout the year from both Opendoor and 3rd party companies to ensure we are getting honest responses. We try to make it clear that all surveys are anonymous and that we expect real feedback even if it's not positive. If you have questions about any surveys in the future, feel free to reach out to your manager or the People Team.

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

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
