Pros: Great teammates to work with.

Cons: They literally have never been profitable.

Pros: Redfin has an awesome mission, and is looking to modernize a backward and disliked industry. It has your standard tech perks and atmosphere plus some. Like people who are friendly and helpful, you're surrounded by snacks and beer, a beautiful office overlooking Puget Sound, catered lunch or a walk to Pike Place Market, good pay, hackathons, etc. Engineering is empowered, although I won't say it's perfect, and provides career goals and growth. Such as the ability to focus on the technology you're most interested in, with frequent 1-1s to course correct. There is lots of transparency, access to internal documents about revenue, growth, and the company's long-term financial plans, etc. Going back to the mission, it's very interesting to get out of general pure tech and have a brick and mortar side, which is a brokerage! Oh, and Glenn, who is the CEO, is an awesome guy. There are many great and hilarious stories surrounding him!

Cons: Moving to a new office next year to accommodate growth, which probably won't be as awesome. Often run out of gold peak tea. Growing pains, although these are natural.

Pros: Decent pay, friendly coworkers, and frequent company events

Cons: Certain teams are stressful after multiple rounds of layoffs, and promotions seem to be arbitrary and not entirely off of merit, with a non-engineering focused culture.
