Pros
- The founders and executive leadership team are invested in design. The design organization has a seat at the table, contributes strategically to company vision and plans, and is fully funded across product design, brand design, research, and content. - The Opendoor mission hinges on great design. We're redesigning the entire real estate process and aim to create a simple, seamless experience for people buying and selling homes. The company knows we need excellent design and a world class design organization to achieve that mission. - Genuinely good people. Opendoor has a very human-centric culture. We care about the people we serve, we care about the people we work with. No one in the company is aggressive or insensitive. We respect each other. We have fun together. - Stage of the company provides tremendous growth opportunities. We're growing rapidly and there's so much work to do. People regularly get the chance to step up and take on bigger challenges and more responsibilities than they ever have before in their careers. No one feels boxed in or limited in their growth. Our CEO frequently says he wants everyone at Opendoor doing the best work of their careers. It feels that way to me.
Cons
- Can feel chaotic. We're creating a brand new process for real estate transactions, building a viable business around it, and scaling a company at the same time. Things change a lot. It can feel confusing or thrashy. People who need stability have difficulty here.
