Vantaggi
I can only speak for the SF HQ, but here they are: - Opendoor operates from a place of transparency. I feel well connected to other parts of the business that I don't work with on a regular basis. Company All-Hands do a great job of engaging employees and revealing any problems/updates of the company. - High-growth but not crazy. For only being 2.5 yrs old, Opendoor has grown quite a lot. But our growth goals aren't crazy, as it's trying to avoid the pitfalls of other start-ups with crazy, unstructured growth. - People. Everyone I've met has been smart, engaging, and welcoming. - The perks and benefits! I know this shouldn't be such a huge deal, but they're pretty great! Unlimited PTO (that people actually use), daily catered meals, Uber credits, annual growth stipend, monthly gym stipend, etc.
Svantaggi
Not much to say here. - Office space. It's getting a bit cramped in 116 New Montgomery. We have plans to expand our office but for the moment it's really packed. Food runs out pretty quickly if you're not fast! - Hours. In true start-up fashion, working hours are fairly flexible but at times overwhelming. It depends on your team and the individual, but it's not uncommon for me to get Slack messages and emails late at night or over the weekend. There's some pressure to stay later nights, but this is definitely up to the individual. - Information overload. Opendoor teams use a TON of different tools (slack, email, Quip, Dropbox Paper, Google Docs, etc.). I think it'll be much easier moving forward to standardize where information is coming from and how we use these tools.
