Pros

A few motivated and ethical people.

Cons

The executive leadership has been playing a game of hit and trial for the last couple of years to stay afloat. They opened India offices, hired 50+ members, and decided to shut them down after inaugurating offices in Hyderabad and Bangalore in just 4 months. This shows the lack of vision, strategy and foresight of leadership. Any company is made of two assets- people and culture. The people who are left after back-to-back massive layoffs (4 since Nov 2022) are just passing the time each day. Being a recent ex-employee the motivation of people is extremely low. Don't get clouded by the positivity that's shown during interviews. It's all a facade. And the culture is horrible. 50+ India employees were informed over a 2-minute Zoom call that they were let go by HR. No leader cared to show up and no 1:1's were scheduled with managers. On top of it, the health insurance ended the same day, and a meagre 2-month severance package was handed out. On top of this considering how the housing market is not doing great, the interest rates are still high, the product is just hanging by a thread before it dies.

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.
