Pros

Competitive pay in certain departments, many good and honest working people

Cons

OpenDoor at first seems so friendly and welcoming, their onboarding process and stance on equality in the workplace is very promising. However there is little opportunity of people of color to move up and has been noted in colleague surveys many times. Management is cliquey, senior management has their favorites among lower management and makes it apparent. Regional team will state they want things to grow and get better but continue on with the same problematic management team that has had multiple complaints from teams to HR. Their mass layoff off in November is something that we all felt coming since June, the season was slow and hiring kept happening, there were then too many people working in S&S so instead of a layoff off in Q2, performance plans were implemented more harshly than ever before in order to get people out the door. Metrics and “stack ranking” teams is decided by senior level managers that know how to work numbers to make their teams look better, telling their teams that “time off counts against them” while other managers are urging their teams to take their PTO time as to ensure no burnout. Poor planning and bad management will be the downfall of this company.

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
