Pros

Great technology, beautiful headquarters, and hard-to-beat medical benefits

Cons

Company culture centers on paranoia and upper management is blindly devoted to the CEO and SVP. Small wonder that external executives usually last months, not years, on the job. There is a lot of work to be done to properly align performance and incentives. Sadly, the company has never learned that the results they get will always be what they incentivize, not what they think researchers "should" do. There is very little that is transferable from the research job to working anywhere else. You learn some useful terminology and concepts about the CRE industry, but your responsibilities and goals change so frequently it's hard to have real, quantifiable impact.

Pros

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Cons

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
