When a startup needs to ship up... - Anonymous employee Redfin Employee Review

Promotions within the company are given to those that 'try hard' and have 'spirit'. This makes it difficult when making real world decisions when no one actually has real world experience or leadership abilities. You're considered senior if you worked there for 3 years. The staff questions and concerns are rarely taken seriously. There seems to be no strategic thinking as the company grows and more markets get added. This is making the staff nervous. The heads are too busy having meetings and making plans without any input from core staff.
