Pros

Constantly learning and a great team. The tech and the people working on these companies are awesome. And many of them are gaining significant traction. See OwnProp, InsurePro, and PayUp for examples.

Cons

There were some layoffs (as many in the tech world have experienced) and some of the negative reviews I see here correspond to that time period.

Cool but Insane

Pros

Most of the people they hire are killers. Some of the most talented people I've ever met. This can be a con to some people but the pace is insane. Sometimes it's pure chaos for the sake of causing chaos. My first month here my workload was 4x the busiest I have ever experienced prior. Pete's ambition is very infectious but he talked like some normal random New York construction worker so I respectfully call him the smartest dumb guy I've ever met. You kind of need someone like that to dream big and attract big talent. Most importantly for me, there are free lunches.

Cons

I like working off hours but sometimes there will be a random hella long phone call that upends my weekend plans. There are surprise meetings as well that can derail plans. You have to be prepared to move from one company to another or from one role to another. If you are very competent in one area, you will be asked to do that same thing for another company sometimes. Sometimes strategies aren't allowed to play out because they are "long" plays. Sandwiches for lunch sometimes 3 times a week when once a week is enough. Massive carbs for lunch sometimes.

Pros

You will be working closely with a management team that has already built a large company. They are always trying to educate themselves on how to tackle huge problems in the teach/real estate space. This team has launched 10 tech startups and they are all part of one team. My skills are used across multiple companies, and the holding company. It's exciting to work with highly talented people of various disciplines. I have meet some of the best people in my career working here. Earlier in my career I was part of a fast-paced tech company where we are part of 6 acquisitions and 2 mergers in under 18 months. That was nothing compared to Rex. This is the most high-paced work environment that I have ever been at/heard of.

Cons

You are given ownership of high level tasks, but the strategies can often shift, causing you to lose ownership of your projects. Because we are in a volatile startup environment, responsibilities and roles shift a lot. Your co-workers can be moved across multiple startups during their time here.
