Pros

- Teams are agile and you get to work on potential projects that have high visibility (even if impact isn't immediately realized) - Most of the managers I've worked with are really good folks who try their best to inspire and lead

Cons

- I've been through 4 re-orgs in the two and a half years I've been at the company. This means zero career progression and broken promises by 4 managers during my tenure. - People tend to get moved across teams and orgs regardless of their area of focus causing significant career instability and eventual termination during the next re-organization - Revolving door of senior leadership means shifts in focus every 6 months causing employee churn - Lack of vision under current macro conditions. Taking a look at the (now almost) penny stock prices while the rest of the market including other real estate businesses are staying afloat shows how out of touch and deluded the current leadership team is

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
