Pros

Opendoor started as a great place to work just before they went public a few years ago. When Opendoor first needed people after the post pandemic housing boom, management showed care for its employees. Then everything changed, for the worst, dramatically. free snacks

Cons

For the Sales and Support department, if you work hard and earn a promotion with more pay, you will likely be laid off in the next house market correct in cost cutting measures by management. Don't believe the one team one dream core value, many people that grew the start-up with 4, 5 + yeas of tenure were laid off while other new employees were kept. Your tenure with the company means very little. There was an entire sales department with close to 100 reps and over 95% have been there only 2 years or less. Top performers and dedicated people that worked incredibly hard were laid off with no real reason and while keeping some of the newest people. No real focus from management to level up or promote.

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
