Pros

1) Full of incredibly talented individual contributors and teams who have freedom to choose their own tech stack. 2) Super supportive management that nudges you in the right direction but never interferes. 3) C level staff lets you take calculated risks and AB test everything so we make the right long term decisions, even if it means revenue impact in the short term. 4) CEO, CTO work on their desks outside their offices with the rest of the team. 5) Can't say enough good things about the culture. I've only been here two months and so far we've had an amazing hackathon, a tech block party, Halloween celebrations with families, a Diwali party, and I already have an invitation for a holiday cocktail party! 6) Lastly great pay. Also they do a lot to make you feel part of the Realtor.com family, and still let you be you.

Cons

The Santa Clara office has a terrible cafe shared with a bunch of companies, but there's a lot of healthy options available within walking distance (Whole Foods, Specialty's, etc)

With our new Snack program and fun food days, the one con you point out should cease to exist soon. And you are right, we are surrounded by a lot of cool food options. Just wait to see what other great things we have in store that showcase our wonderful culture!

Pros

Great pay and opportunity for advancement if you can get on the right projects that will succeed. For the most part I have the tech I need to do my job and my coworkers are really smart capable people who I learn from every day. I feel challenged in my work and that makes me feel engaged and interested in the problems I solve daily. Flexible vacation time and great benefits.

Cons

It can be incredibly chaotic at times, bordering on toxic. People are on edge and passing blame around like a hot potato. Hierarchy, power plays, and territorial politics create land mines for the unsuspecting on any given project— depending on your team or organization you’ll need to tread lightly to survive. They only hire in Austin right now, so any open roles seem to take a long time to fill, but the work still piles on.
