Pros

Lots of smart hardworking people!

Cons

*lots of questioning internally whether this is a truly innovative tech company, seems like you could've done this business 20 years ago. *overhyped growth potential, basically competing w similar companies on price only, no real moat. not particularly revolutionary by silicon valley standards. *poor work/life balance *inexperienced leadership- frequent changes in direction and some poor organizational decisions *has seen avoidable attrition on eng/product teams

Pros

You get your own laptop and a growth stipend, unless they’ve taken that away. We started out with a lot of pros: $150/month to spend on uber, another $150 towards some wellness activity, a Birchbox every month, that all stopped not long ago.

Cons

Opendoor does not value its employees. I was one of the top performers of my team, honestly my entire team was amazing though and every single one of us exceeded expectations, but they laid us all off right before the holidays anyway, just to save face for some board thing or whatever. Management cannot be trusted, and only take a high level perspective never truly bothering to understand how to best service our customers. Every thing is just numbers to them, and thus the culture is dead. There’s a crack in the foundation of Opendoor, since unfortunately they’ve decided to go against all core values originally in place.

Pros

- Fast growing company - Great snacks in the office - Travel to local offices, e.g. Hackweek

Cons

- High work expectations, lots of pressure - No time for fun, cheap on spending - Lack of culture, no engagement with other co-workers - Low comp - Very few good senior engineers - Lots of bad engineers that don't get let go - Heavy stock dilution, stock was diluted 47% in 2018 I've been at Opendoor for 6+ months and I don't see myself working here much longer. The company is growing fast but it is lacking in too many areas that make it an unhappy place to work. When I meet engineers in private 1 on 1s almost everyone is thinking about leaving due their frustractions of working here. It seems most people joined here thinking it looked great from the outside and the growth potential. The SF office has no culture making it a very boring place to work. Employees don't feel any sense of beloning at this company and the company is very cheap when it comes to spending money on employees having fun. This place mainly attracts junior engineers since they don't pay enough to attract top talent.
