Pros

I have really enjoyed the people and culture since joining Redfin. It is a talented, diverse, and caring group that cares about making good products and taking care of each other. I have been encouraged at every step to take initiative on projects and work that I think are important to the continued growth and improvement of the organization.

Cons

The engineering side has built up an impressive product stack, but is feeling some growing pains as they scale both the platform and the team size. But despite being sometimes frustrating, these are overall good problems to have.

Advice to Management

Keep up on taking care of people and fostering the environment that has led to success so far. The quality of people that I am surrounded by is really enjoyable and refreshing compared to many other companies.

Keep investing in tech infrastructure, tooling, and paying down of historical debt as the business grows. New products are important, but so is maintenance and infrastructure/process improvement to support them.

Consider offering a 401k match, as it is the big glaring gap in the otherwise pretty good benefits package.
