Pros: - Overall nice people - 3 lunches a week - Lots of snacks and soda - Easy, 30 to 35 hours a week and you are golden - Excellent benefits - Lots of women engineers

Cons: - Pretends to be a startup that has a ton of process and red tape - Pay is below market and the stock isn't worth anything - Engineering org uses QA as a crutch to not take ownership of code - Tenure is important, and toxic people are allowed to stay based on how many years they have with the company - Technophobia is the best way to describe the engineering org. All java all the time, and only a spring mvc monolith. - People are literally treated like cogs, and you will be told that you are suppose to be a drop in replacement on any other team. - While there are some good ones, engineering talent is generally mediocre. - There is currently an exodus of senior talent and hiring is super painful - Hiring process is so much about product that people who fail all their technical interviews will still get hired due to product passion. On the flip side acing your technical but not answering their magic questions right won't get you an offer. - Entire management chain starting at the senior managers needs to be replaced. Not only are they dishonest, but they have no clue how to run a company the size of Redfin. - Vast majority of engineers; this is their first and only job. If it isn't what they already know or what Google and Facebook are doing, they will simply shut you down with any alternative ideas.

Pros: Prioritizes employees and challenging projects with great teamwork.

Cons: The tech stack is not very strong.

Pros: - Other world-class engineers - Top pay and benefits - A real "change the game" mission - Progressive technology - The website that is amazing and the source of all good things Redfin is fundamentally sound and can be the Amazon of real estate.

Cons: - Lack of strategic thinking - Lack of operational core competency Glenn is a great inspiration and works as hard as anyone, but needs help working smarter. This in turn has created a management culture that follows his lead and values hard work (now now now! go go go!) over working smarter strategically. This leads to emotional roller coaster rides. Redfin lacks "operators" who understand structural efficiency in the org and create reliable, steady growth. It is hard.
