Pros

An interesting domain with lots of interesting challenges. They are just disrupting the tip of the iceberg, and the financial potential is huge.

Cons

Business Practices: The company is unethical, with lots of very questionable practices, including changing home value based on marketing tactics (headline price vs internal price).

Huge turnover for EPD. Engineering and product processes are constantly changing, and employees are left to just play catch-up 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 as superior. They're trying to build a culture of openness, but 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 women or people of color.

Advice to Management

Rebuild eng leadership.
