Pluspunten

Some really great people, fully covered medical and dental, lunch, snacks, beautiful HQ

Minpunten

Zero alignment between leaders, no direction in terms of strategy, terrible review process which left people with no raises or promotions. No ability for ownership, growth or development, yet they expect you to work over the weekend. The CEO is a control freak and caters entirely to agents wants and needs with zero regard for the rest of the employee base. The values are just words used as a crutch to justify a bad decision. They so desperately want to be a technology company by the technology is sub par, which completely contradicts how they pitch the business. Their only redeeming quality is the beautiful and sophisticated advertising from the marketing team which again is catering to attracting agents. Their mission is to help everyone find their place in the world which sounds great except all listings are for luxury properties. It's very smoke and mirrors. They care more about how they appear on the outside than what's actually going on inside, which I can tell you first hand is sheer turmoil.

Pluspunten

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Minpunten

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
