Pros

- Surrounded by great talents and passionate individuals who genuinely want to build the right product and serve our customers. - I constantly find myself amazed by the quality of work from my fellow designers. Many of them worked for big tech companies before yet all of them are down to earth and always offering help. - This is not a place you would feel bored. You can go broad at solving a problem that spans through multiple phase of the home transaction lifecycle, or go deep into perfecting a specific workflow and its interaction to maximize user experience.

Cons

- It is a hyper-growth startup and the product team is still working its way to maturity. There'll be processes that you need to figure out and sometimes it's not easy. Fortunately, everybody I've seen is open-minded, so if handled properly it can be very rewarding. - Revolutionizing home buying/selling IS a tough challenge! It's probably one of the few categories where the people who're designing the product can't easily calibrate expectations and acceptance based on their own past experience - not everybody has bought/sold a home.

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
