Pros
The benefits are amazing. Great insurance for employees and their entire family is entirely free. Catered lunches. Kitchen is stocked with beer and snacks.
Cons
Redfin as a whole is extremely unorganized. Training is severely lacking for all real estate positions (coordinators, agents and field agents). I was thrown into my position with almost no training and expected to learn on the job, putting client's real estate transactions in jeopardy. Employees are overworked and underpaid. I handled the work of at least 3 people and was not paid for all of my overtime. The work load was much more than I should have been doing, we were short staffed all of the time. Management is unreliable, making a lot of promises that they cannot keep. Glenn (owner) and Scott (VP of Real Estate) talk a lot about their "open door" policy during the interview and orientation/training. In reality, if you do try to come to one of them with your ideas/concerns/problems, they don't want to hear it. There are two separate parts to the Redfin company, the real estate team and the engineers. I can only speak as to how it was working on the real estate team. An engineer may have an entirely different experience.
