Pros

- Incredibly ambitious mission and business model, with the team to execute it - Incredible growth, from nothing to multiple percent marketshare in the first markets in 2 years. - Actually difficult problems to solve, from data science to engineering, marketing. - The company gives you a lot of rope to take ownership and make an impact - Company is focused and executes really quickly. We solve every problem we encounter. - Kind teammates, deep support, empathetic, no snark culture - Nearly nobody has left in the first 100 people to join

Cons

Growing quickly has pros and cons, but Opendoor has avoided most of the issues I've seen in past startups. Salary is lower than you'll get at a Google or Facebook, but in line with market and I think the equity has a lot of upside.

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
