Pros
The team I was on was full of talent and added so much value to the company. Since we all suffered the same never ending, exhausting, impossible pile of work we became a tight knit crew. At the end of the night, we would either throw our hands up and laugh or work together to console the crying team member of the day. The benefits were amazing. Everything about this job was a pro 2 years ago. There was so much support and appreciation from the top you didn't mind the insane workload. We worked a crazy amount of hours and had so much fun doing it.
Cons
I have to agree with the previous review that it's a little fishy (11) FIVE star reviews suddenly all came in on the same day. Everyone must have been super pumped about their jobs on August 11th. I loved my job and the company the first few years I was there. I was proud to work for Opendoor and believed in their mission. As the company grew, politics took over and Middle Management was born. I don't know if it was some kind of experiment they were doing in SF or a funny hazing thing but the joke was on us. We had to train our managers on what we did for a job so they could manage us doing it. I still wonder about the why of that experiment from time to time but for the sake of my forehead wrinkles I am letting it go. It would take 7 or 8 full time employees to complete the amount of work you were expected to do in a single day. The managers knew it but just kind of looked at you with a sad face like "Awww poor kid, you are set up for complete failure. Don't worry though, I will outline all of the failure on a circle, bar and line graph at our next metrics meeting" and then desperately try to avoid any future eye contact. As Opendoor had to cut more and more costs to move toward IPO (pre-COVID) the quality of their homes drastically declined. Things happening behind the scenes started to feel questionable (unethical?) and that's when I lost faith in the mission and respect for the company. I was sad to be one of the 600 that didn't make it but understand it was a situation completely out of anyone's control. The last 9 months were so draining and painful I guess it was time for me to move on anyway. I feel bad for the people that are still there and doing 3x the work for the same pay. And that middle management experiment...???
