Pros

They overcompensate employees because they're desperate for talent.

Cons

The CEO is basically a GM that reports up to NewsCorp. NewsCorp constantly uses Realtor.com to balance the books so millions of dollars are fluctuating quarterly. OpCity was acquired to move cash around, never really produced the promised value, and then the leaders all cut and ran when the vesting period ended. There are 550 job openings right now. And maybe 2000 employees. Either they haven't been able to recruit people after the last 3 rounds of essentially annual layoffs, or they are staffing up to mitigate the pain of the next round of layoffs. There is no clear direction for the future of the company. No clear vision as to what the value is they bring to the market anymore. Basically just profitable or not based on macro economics. If you want to go there to bring change and that change will take more than 3 months than you will never actually bring change. Since you manager will change about that often and any long term plans get shuttled and reset. The culture is cutthroat and cowardly. The leadership are empty figureheads. The entire enterprise is a slush fund for NewsCorp to balance their continually sagging books.

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.
