Redfin

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!

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.

Keep doing what you are doing. We love the transparency and passion.
