Pros

Fully remote, allowing you to make California wages while living in a lower cost of living place. You'll work with and learn from seasoned tech industry folks from Uber, Amazon, and Meta

Cons

Company wants to be jack of all trades (meaning, lots of new unprofitable products), master at none. Since 2022 more and more of the company has been replaced by Indian contractors (HR, data engineering). And benefits have eroded, e.g. you need to pay to have a 401k now. The entire research data science team quit in summer of 2022.

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

I spent four years at Opendoor and back in 2021 This was a great company to work for. We had great benefits were remote and the pay was competitive. Opendoor tonight me a lot and I was able to refine my skills through hundreds of new leads every month. The role of home Sales advisor requires a large knowledge base and comes with a lot of autonomy and responsibility. Historically they have had a really hard time hiring from the outside and most new hits don’t last one year.

Cons

Frequent layoffs a culture of fear and mistrust. In 4 years I survived 6 rounds of layoffs. The new ceo has caused a lot of problems mainly by repeating the same mistakes we made before.
