Pros

This is a great company with a mature engineering organization steeped in excellent talent. The culture promotes autonomy and collaboration. There is a healthy amount of process, but nothing compared to what you see at very large organizations. The business went through a tough time due to difficulties seen in the housing market, but the company's leadership showed poise and vision to help restructure the company to achieve stability.

Cons

The business is dependent on the real estate market, which is cyclical, and therefore might necessitate periods of contraction when the housing market is down.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
