Pros

The very bottom level staff (MAs and AEMs) are usually normal and friendly. This is the singular only pro left.

Cons

Toxic, micromanaging middle managers hold staff to unrealistic standards of work with zero recognition for a job well done, but will drive the smallest mistake into the ground. Every major benefit has been whittled away, do not trust their benefits package as it WILL get worse. I have never felt so constantly and unrelentingly harassed by managers in my life, both AE, sales, and regional. Agents are rude, helpless, and can do no wrong to compass. You are merely a piece of machinery to be squeezed in the hope of extracting value out of the agents. Managers will pretend that expectations aren’t skyrocketing and lie to your face to pressure you. CEO is a glorified mascot who’s only job is to attend pizza parties he throws across the country in his honor, lay people off, bash on remote work, and inflict suffering in exchange for profit. Culture so good, it’s mandatory! Be very afraid of “not participating”, as it’s NOT optional. Save yourself, do not get tricked into working here.

Pros

This is a great company with a mature engineering organization steeped in excellent talent. The culture promotes autonomy and collaboration. There is a healthy amount of process, but nothing compared to what you see at very large organizations. The business went through a tough time due to difficulties seen in the housing market, but the company's leadership showed poise and vision to help restructure the company to achieve stability.

Cons

The business is dependent on the real estate market, which is cyclical, and therefore might necessitate periods of contraction when the housing market is down.
