Pros

I've been working full time less than a year at Opendoor. I came on board because I saw an opportunity to help build something great. It wasn't the smoothest start and I had some serious doubts early on. All that said, we have made huge strides to improve the way that we do things. We've hired some great new leaders that have been actively changing the company for the better. I gave Opendoor a four-star rating because I think we can still find ways to grow and get better. - Exciting to be a part of a company that is going to be huge! - Great people - dedicated, hard-working, smart and enjoy a good laugh - Ethical management. There have been some difficult business decisions that left some people feeling a bit short-changed. They were treated fairly and given a second chance if they wanted to come back. - Room for career growth - Nice perks like lunch and a nice office space

Cons

- Long hours when I first started but this has subsided a bit - We are still going to change and iterate so it is sometimes hard to know if today's paradigm will look the same tomorrow - Some thrash - we have a tendency to makes decisions without fully understanding the ripple effects downstream - The CRM that we use is a work in progress

Pros

Smart and Humble People The first thing the recruiter told me when I asked about what Opendoor was like was this, "everyone is really smart and works really hard." She couldn't have been more right. I'd add on there that everyone is really smart and incredibly humble and interested in new ideas and expertise. Great Mission What we're doing is incredibly challenging and amazingly focused on the mission of empowering people to move. People are focused and passionate about making the home buying and selling process much easier. Nimble People are not afraid to make mistakes and be nimble, which is mission critical in a company at this stage. Data Driven We're a company founded on data, and while at times the data can be overwhelming, using data to support decisions and ideas is critical. Implementation of Feedback Feedback is encouraged, and better than that, embraced. For example, folks have been asking for more training and development. The Head of People took that to heart and was pretty quick to open up the role, to which I as lucky enough to be the right fit to lead our Learning & Development efforts.

Cons

Work/life Balance This varies by team and by office. In some cases it's quite challenging. There is a personal component that can come into play and cause some of this imbalance. That said, if you set boundaries, they are respected and appreciated. Communication and Change Management A bit of this is to be expected for the stage of the company. What worked for communication and pushing change with 100 employees doesn't work as well as you have more than 500. Leaders are certainly moving in the right direction with how they're managing any change (which loads of change is to be expected in a late stage start up). Communication is a bit challenging as the org structure is complex and it's not always clear who to communicate to about what.

Great benefits, smart people (some of the smartest I've ever met), mission-driven company with a friendly environment. Everyone works hard to get results.

Cons

Lots of change that isn't always accompanied by the proper communication.
