Process
I applied online to Redfin's website. I heard back from a recruiter a week later, who set up a call with an engineer. The engineer called 10 minutes late, cutting short the 1-hour interview to 50 minutes, and then spent a lot of time talking about Redfin. I didn't get enough time to work through the problem and ask questions myself.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 28, 2022
Pros: - Good work-life balance
Cons: Redfin experience is dependent on the team, and if you mess up 1 thing, they are laying off people and not giving them sufficient time to fix the mistake or improve as the business is going bad and Redfin is not doing good.
Redfin is a good company to work for if the business is doing good.
Since business is not doing good now, they are finding reasons to let go people, and many good engineers are leaving anyway.
- layoffs
- toxic manager
- no good mentorship or learnings for engineers who are early in their career
- stock price
- salaries are less than promised due to stock price
