Machine Learning Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, WA
January 4, 2022
Pros: Great work/life balance and culture
Reasonably good tech stack in some parts of the company
Cons: Some parts of the company run on very outdated technology
Product/engineering is largely driven by real-estate business, so feels less techy than other companies like Microsoft, Amazon, or Google.
Need to do a fair amount of prancing to get visibility for promotion, but I guess it's inevitable at that size.
