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.
