Pros

Interesting domain. Lots of interesting challenges. They're just disrupting the tip of the iceberg. Financial potential is huge.

Cons

Business Practices: Company is unethical, lots of very questionable practices including changing home value based on marketing tactics (headline price vs internal price). Huge turnover for EPD. Engineering & product processes are constantly changing and employees are left to just play catchup with them. Work life balance is non-existent. They expect you to work outside business hours and penalize you if you don't. Culture is a zero sum phenomenon. Everyone wants to put each other down in order to show themselves are superior. They're trying to build a culture of openness. They're failing miserably. The only "openness" they've built so far is how information is shared within the execs circle. Lack of diversity. Little to no woman/people of color.

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
