Pros

I've never seen so many hardworking people in one place. Everyone is bright and innovative. Employees are top notch and would really be able to add value and growth if given the chance. Broker's are very helpful and knowledgeable, they taught me so much!

Cons

Work life balance, even if you work 15 hour days 7 days a week, you're considered "negligent and untrustworthy" if you ask for a day off. Management has no idea what they're doing, no experience or knowledge about real estate in general Free lunch doesn't make up for the fact that you're under paid. "We're a startup" Is the excuse for everything. How long can you actually be a startup anyway? Just a word of advice, calling your self a startup makes you seem inexperienced to industry peers. The SF office has a reputation of a "you can't sit with us" mentality. Pay was slashed, I brought it up and was told "You should focus on doing what's best for Opendoor." Huh? I can't pay my mortgage with "experience".

I had the pleasure of working Opendoor, taking on multiple roles at the company. The culture was great, and management was top notch. The service they provide is unique and I could truly see the positive impact we made on many homeowners lives.

Cons

None that I can recall

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
