Pros

- Amazing talent across teams - Great people - Great agents (of course some tough ones, but generally speaking some great people) - Nice office space - MacBooks for all - Lots of vacation/holiday (now unlimited PTO and every holiday under the sun)

Cons

- Demanded in office full-time even during the pandemic - Incredibly low pay despite experience - Delusional leadership and management - Constant feeling of "employees dont matter, but agents do" - ZERO upward mobility (even after promised) - Unreasonable performance benchmarking - Inaccurate portrayal of job description - Cutting corners and costs in every way possible make it more difficult for the employees - Smoke in mirrors; telling everyone how we're doing SO well, but truly, we're not.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
