Pros

Great team members, hard problems to solve, game-changing products for the real estate industry. At Opendoor you will work alongside incredibly smart people who want to solve the hard, impactful problems. Most people here work work quite a bit, as there's a lot to solve. There are really great people here who want to do what's best for the company and operate without ego. It's by far the most challenging role I've ever had, but it's also the most rewarding. Good benefits, including flex time off.

Cons

Can be thrashy at times. Communication can be improved as sometimes key people are left out of the loop on things. We recently hired an internal comms team and that seems to be helping. Things move very fast so it not the right place for people who aren't comfortable with that. I've seen a number of people who come from bigger companies and aren't used to the pace struggle with how quickly things move here.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
