Pros
- It's getting harder to recruit talent, so you may be able to negotiate a comp package similar to that of Amazon - The place is so disorganized you may be able to get away with doing very little work while being paid well - Used to be a fun place to work where you could do a lot and learn a lot (no longer)
Cons
- Place is infested with bad former Amazon leadership. Nothing against Amazon, but we took all the bad Amazon middle and upper management. I spend most of my time teaching middle management on what's going on vs learning from them. - As a PM, you will spend most of your time preparing useless documents that will be read once (or not even once). You will not learn any PM skills. - Extremely top down, no product strategy, constant reorganization - Lots of competent people are leaving, overall talent pool is getting worse - Product does not generate any revenue. Leadership can probably get rid of 50% of P&E without any impact to revenue (huge improvements to cost), so watch out for cost reduction efforts when the real estate market is no longer at an all time high and/or when the public market wants to see positive net income - Business model has no moat. Any brokerage with funding can recruit agents and keep them with $$. - Trust me, do yourself a favor and don't come here
