As someone who was born and raised in California, avocados are staple food. On my first day of internship, after meeting all the interns, my amazing team (Agent Efficiency #AE), and a few other Redfin employees, I had some free time to explore the office. Out of curiosity, I checked out the kitchen, only to realize that there are so many avocados, even more than my previous internship in Downtown LA! This inspired my daily routine during work. When I arrive at the office around 8 AM, I make avocado toasts with different variations: with whole wheat bread or everything bagel, and any combination of the following: lemon, egg, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Now, I can still be a Californian in the beautiful city of Seattle.

Besides the daily routine, I had a very worthwhile internship. Based on what I hear from friends in some companies, I enjoyed the fact that Redfin gives a lot of important responsibility to interns, treating them as full-time employees. For instance, my team encouraged me to take on the tech debt representative role during the Seattle Redfin Summer 2018 Hackathon, which was initially daunting since I only had knowledge in a small subset of the team’s codebase.

Regardless, no matter which Redfin office I was at, Redfin consistently has an amazing company culture.

Also, Redfin interns (aka Redfinterns) get the chance to work on something challenging. For me, I had minimal experience working in the backend, which gives my team more reason to give me a project that has a heavy backend component. While I struggled a lot, asked many questions, and getting roasted on code reviews, I ended my internship learning so much and became a better software engineer. I also ended up producing a working feature in the agent tools: New Mutual Notifications on the Deal Queue. This project provides notifications to transaction coordinators on what deals reached the mutual acceptance stage recently, so the transaction coordinators can quickly work on those deals. According to my mentor and manager, this project is impactful as it meets the quarterly goal of making the deal queue more efficient by reducing response time of new mutual deals by 10% and providing ways to improve the customer experience of buying houses at Redfin. I am grateful I got to make a real impact to the company during the short period of time that is 12 weeks.

I also enjoyed the work-life balance Redfin strongly encourages. While working, there are Slack channels that are meant to be entertaining such as the #donuts channel, where you get “donuted” if you forget to lock your laptop when you leave the room; in other words, you have to bring donuts if someone posts “I bring donut” from your unlocked laptop in the #donuts channel :woot:! In the office, there is a wonderful game room with a ping pong table, video games, and a huge selection of board games. There are also fun outdoor intern events such as white water rafting at the Sauk River and hiking with Glenn the CEO at Poo Poo Point. In addition, we also got to participate in the general company events such as the summer hackathon, “social hours,” and picnic.

Personally, outside of work, I visited many places in Seattle, from the typical Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass to hidden gems such as Chophouse Row and sunset at the Volunteer Park “donut” (It’s actually called the “Black Sun”). To satisfy my wanderlust, my manager even allowed me to work at the San Francisco office for a week (they have fewer avocados, ironically), so I got to experience the best of both worlds! Regardless, no matter which Redfin office I was at, Redfin consistently has an amazing company culture. I met amazing and brilliant people at both places; without all the people I met at Redfin, I honestly would not have learned as much and would not have gotten a lot out of this internship.

As a college student, the pressure of finding an internship and figuring out what you want to do with your life can be consuming. While I don’t think this pressure ever truly goes away, I do think perspective is key to handling this pressure. My perspective on life post-college, and how students should view career development, was transformed during my summer internship at Redfin.

Before Redfin, my focus on building my resume with experience outweighed the actual personal development I could gain from different job opportunities. The pressure to perfect your experience can lead students to overlook the most important part of having experience: the ability to actually implement the skills you learn and make an impact.

Redfin gave me so much autonomy and responsibility that I felt like any other employee. I was a valued member of my team.

From my first contact with Redfin recruiters, I had a gut feeling that Redfin was a special company. My recruiter put in the effort to get to know me, asking meaningful questions about who I am, what excites me, and what my goals are. I never felt pressured to be or act a certain way. (I cannot express how important this is when interviewing at a company!) You should be able to feel like your natural self and like the recruiter is really trying to see if you are a good match for the position and the company, and vice versa.

In my first few weeks at Redfin I dove right into my team and my projects. The first week my manager and I talked about my role and my goals, and made a list of areas I wanted to explore over the summer. After that, he let me make my own priorities. Initially, I was nervous about having less structure. However, being guided out of my comfort zone pushed me to think critically about my strengths and weaknesses. Over the next 12 weeks, I worked on projects that were my strong-suit and also projects that challenged me. Each step of the way, my manager and team gave me meaningful feedback and guidance.

Throughout my summer, I got to know Redfin employees across all parts of the business. I truly felt as if there was no divide between the tech and business side, which is important as a non-tech intern at a tech company. At Redfin, everyone sweeps the floor. This means that we all put in an honest days work and respect our coworkers. I felt this every time I would line up for lunch or step into the elevator and meet someone new. Redfin felt like home.

By the time mid August rolled around, I had to pinch myself as a reminder that the summer was coming towards an end. I had practically forgotten that I was an intern! Redfin gave me so much autonomy and responsibility that I felt like any other employee. I was a valued member of my team, not a shadow in the meeting room.

As I prepare to head back to school for my senior year, I leave with a host of new technical knowledge, quantified experience, and projects that impacted Redfin under my belt, but most importantly a new mindset. Redfin taught me that company culture defines how well you work. The environment at Redfin was welcoming, innovative, and inspiring. A company is truly measured by its people. I want to work with people whose values I respect and admire. Redfin taught me that an internship or job should help you grow. If you are not challenged to think creatively and critically, then what is the benefit? Redfin helped me realize that my happiness and work-life balance should be at the forefront of my career decisions. This realization will help me work smarter and be more impactful. I will always remember my summer at Redfin and be grateful for the lessons learned. With my new perspective, I am ready to head back to school and confidently face the future.

On Wednesday January 17th, at about 3:30 p.m., I got a call from Redfin saying that I’d received an offer to intern on the Homes Discovery team. A few minutes later, I hung up the call and proceeded to lose my mind in excitement. I accepted my offer a week later, excited to spend a few months exploring and coding in San Francisco. Little did I know how incredible the summer would be.

While at Redfin, I learned a lot about web development and coding practices. I worked on both front-end and back-end features, which let me explore a lot of the company’s codebase. Also, since my team was very customer facing, I had the opportunity to better understand how the product and design teams worked in the company. Specifically, one of my projects was front-end focused, so I got to discuss improvements with the product manager and designer on my team.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that everyone I met at Redfin was welcoming and collaborative.

One thing that stood out to me about Redfin was how supportive the environment was. My mentor always told me to ask as many questions as I wanted, and if I ever asked a question that she didn’t know the answer to, she would help me figure out who did. My teammates were similarly helpful. Even cross-office, if I needed to ask a question of a team in the Seattle office, they would always be willing to help me over Slack or set up a meeting. I really appreciated this, since it helped me move past roadblocks.

The best part about Redfin is its culture. The San Francisco office is on the smaller side, so the community always felt tight-knit and friendly. I knew almost everyone by name, and always felt comfortable joining a lunch table with people I hadn’t talked to yet. There would always be someone around, ready to grab food or play ping-pong or get a board game going. I’m not exaggerating when I say that everyone I met at Redfin was welcoming and collaborative.

Overall, Redfin is a place where you can feel comfortable saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out.” It’s a place where even as an intern, you’re treated as equal to a full-time employee. It’s a place where you can ask for help from anyone, and it’s given freely. It’s a place where your opinion is valued and heard. Redfin really is an amazing place to intern, and I cannot thank my team enough for a truly unforgettable summer.

Spending my summer working at Redfin as a Software Developer Intern was an incredible experience, the culture of the company and the people are one of the best I’ve had in my professional life. Redfin was a key factor in my development as a software developer, taking into account that I was really inexperienced in the industry.

I started my internship with next to nothing in terms of experience since I started my career late after transferring from my first college in a border city in Mexico to the University of Texas at El Paso. I didn’t know what to expect from an internship, I didn’t know what an internship was!

I was hit with a really steep learning curve, since most of the “real world” programming is not taught at school and this was my first internship, but fortunately it was at Redfin! A lot of learning and development was expected of me and thankfully, everybody I met at Redfin was willing to help (yes! EVERYBODY).

My mentor and my manager reached out to me a couple of weeks before my start date to tell me what kind of projects I was going to be working on. As I arrived at Redfin I got a warm welcome back from my team (which I met during the onsite loop). After my training and introduction, I was told I was going to work on Walk Score and that my projects were going to have a great impact on the future of Walk Score.

My first project was to develop a process to generate an Ubuntu Virtual Machine which contains the local development environment for Walk Score. Installing it on the local MacOS was unstable and practically impossible due to the different updates to OSX (which rendered the environment useless) but also because of the version mismatch and configuration format changes. My mentor was very patient and helped me understand the ins and outs of basic software development. He walked me through the process of identifying the problem, building the question and looking for a solution.

Once I was done with my first project, people from other teams would say hi to me in the halls and thank me for the work I did for Walk Score. Not a week had passed and people were already talking about my work! That’s when I realized that the work I did was really going to have a use and an impact on the company.

In my second project, I had to rely somewhat heavily on another team which were the ones that curated a certain code base and processes. The people on this team were the only ones that knew how to operate such processes, so at first I thought it was going to be a tough job and that I was going to be “that intern” who bothers everybody with questions, but let me tell you that this was not the case. I found out that at Redfin, it’s a really common practice for different teams to work together and help each other solve problems. Everyone was more than happy to address all my doubts and attend to my needs as if I was part of their team.

Redfin really feels like a family and not a single moment I felt like I didn’t belong. The people here are always so welcoming and inclusive. I really enjoyed every single moment I spent at Redfin from crazy and fun events Redfin organized for us to the (almost) daily rounds of super smash bros. in the game room with other interns and full-timers to the beer after work at the end of a long week with people who care about you. Yep! There are taps and craft beer on every floor!

At the end of the day I can only say that interning at Redfin was an extraordinary experience. The work and the people here gave me the inspiration to aim for greater heights and keep learning new things to grow and help others grow. If you’re considering Redfin for an internship or a full time job, you won’t regret it. Redfin is truly Genuine!

From Zero to Hero! was originally published in Code Red on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

What has surprised you about being a Redfin intern?

The responsibility! I’ve heard the spiel “you will work on meaningful engineering projects” far too many times at career fairs, but it is real at Redfin.

How would you describe your experience with Redfin’s culture?

Quirky. Diverse. Authentic. Redfin has been one of the rare places I have inhabited without frequent feelings of impostor syndrome, and I think a huge part of it comes from how freely people express (and listen to others express) opinions and let their wackiness shine. I’m incredibly grateful for the diversity in my team and the undercurrent of both humility and hustle that runs here.

Why did you choose to come to Redfin?

I wanted to work for a smaller company, explore product management, and work at a place where I’d grow the most through being given real responsibility.

I also knew this was the place for me when: 1. the onsite interview was just as much fun as road tripping around Portland during winter break and 2. while making a decision, my manager and I had a really candid call about what we value in our work — he genuinely cared about helping me find the right fit. When I came to Redfin, I realized his care & sincerity permeated the entire culture AND business — Redfin’s biz model is built such that our agent will never push the wrong house to a customer to close a deal.

I’m incredibly grateful for the diversity in my team and the undercurrent of both humility and hustle that runs here.

What’s been your favorite project assigned to you and what have you learned?

My favorite project was getting to redesign the Owner Dashboard. The Owner Dashboard is currently the one-stop-shop for homeowners to check the value of their home and real-estate related happenings in their neighborhood.

My biggest take-away from this experience was how to drive product development on an open-ended design problem.

First, make it clear to yourself and your team why this project matters. Say we want to increase homeowner revists to the dashboard by 10%. Ask yourself, so what? On a high-level, increasing homeowner engagement (a 75M market) is essential for growing our base of customers who will want to sell homes with us in the future. Figuring out why you are solving this problem *now* increases buy-in and personal motivation in shipping a product.

Second, make sure your user goals are crystal clear before diving into design decisions. Upon my manager’s recommendation, I created a “What do homeowners want?” doc where I broke homeowners into three different personas & consolidated from data the top five pieces of information they desire. This doc served as a North Star for me when I found myself getting caught in the weeds with the visuals, ensuring user goals were never compromised for easier design layouts.

Finally, “productify” your idealism. My designer and I had a dream Owner Dashboard in our head, but if we wanted to ship all of our design improvements, it would take a year. Don’t discard your idealism — rather, create an endpoint and work back to outline specific versions leading up to that. Define strict roll out conditions at each of these gates to serve as thresholds in deciding whether to keep investing, keep the current version, or, if they aren’t meeting business goals, roll back.

What’s been your favorite event you’ve experienced at Redfin?

My favorite event, hands down, was the intern hike with our CEO, Glenn Kelman, to Poo Poo Point. The hike itself pales in comparison to the nature that Washington offers, so read on for why it was my favorite hike of the summer.

I still remember during a lookout point before the very top, a group of interns (me included) were panting with paper-dry mouths, having forgotten to bring an adequate amount of water. 10 minutes later, Glenn shows up with two Camelbacks filled to the brim.

“Who’s thirsty?” he says, his face blooming into a toothy grin. When I raise my hand, he presses the bottle into my hand without taking a single sip. When I tell him to drink first, he shakes his head. He waits for the water to be passed around and makes no indication reaching for it back, and in this moment I think how thirsty he must be and how the mantra “leaders eat last” could not have rung more true. I’m grateful to have a CEO who cares so deeply about people, finds a genuine interest in everyone, and helps them pursue that passion in whatever way he can.

P.S. I can fangirl for hours about Glenn/Redfin so if you want to hear more, feel free to reach out: angela.x.kong@gmail.com.

When I found out that I was going to be working for the Performance Engineering team at Redfin, my first thought was “Am I going to be spending my whole summer making a button faster?” To my surprise, when my manager revealed what projects I would be working on my preconceptions completely fell away. Both projects that were given to me didn’t sound like “traditional” intern projects. In fact, it sounded more like the team had a lot of new, innovative ideas that they want to implement and that I was jumping right in and helping them tackle these ventures.

This summer I worked on two projects which had a variety of impact throughout the company. My first project was integrating Google Lighthouse into our whole testing suite. Lighthouse is a tool developed by Google to measure web pages across five categories chosen by Google — Performance, Progressive Web App, Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO. I added in the functionality to run these tests automatically and compare how your changes did against the current release and display the results cleanly. The project when it was first given to me sounded pretty straightforward, but as the summer progressed I found that I was getting more and more out of my comfort zone. I had to learn React, how to make schema changes, and the overall architecture. Normally all of this would be hard for an intern to learn but I had no issues due to the excellent mentorship that exists at Redfin. Every time I submitted a pull request, multiple people were jumping in to comment on how I can improve my project and just offering excellent advice consistently. I felt like my progress was expedited just because of how much time people take out of their own day to help others. Fun Fact: During week 8, I merged in 2 lines of code which ended up bringing all of our testing framework down. Despite definitely causing a headache for someone, instead of being reprimanded, I was taught how to avoid these issues in the future. Definitely was very relieved to hear that!

I felt like my progress was expedited just because of how much time people take out of their own day to help others.

My second project had a completely different scope from the first as I experienced what working with remote engineers was like. The project was the brainchild of two Seattle engineers, and interning in San Francisco definitely brought some issues alongside with it. Normally when I was faced with an issue, I could turn to my mentor or turn to another engineer sitting right next to me and resolve it relatively quickly. But now the resident expert was 600 miles away and that change was something I definitely didn’t expect. I had to learn how to be more effective with remote communication — knowing when to utilize slack or just give him a call. Having this experience was extremely valuable to me as you never know when you might be working with someone remote.

Overall, my internship could be summarized in a few sentences. I learned a lot of new technologies, received excellent mentorship, and got to impact the entire company. I had an amazing time at Redfin and am excited to see where the company goes next!

At Redfin, we send millions of emails and push notifications per day to customers searching for new homes. These notifications tell users about real estate events that are relevant to them, such as new homes coming on the market, price changes, and open house schedules.

We use open source technologies including Apache Samza and Apache Kafka in our streaming pipeline that sends these notifications. This system was designed for speed, scalability, and flexibility. Recently, I had a nice conversation with Raul Frias of Amazon where we spoke about Redfin’s notifications architecture and how we use AWS to support it. This conversation was recorded as part of Amazon’s This is My Architecture video series. I hope you enjoy it.

How did you end up at Redfin?

I met Redfin at our career fair. I chose it over a super-early-stage startup and a large, corporate-type setting because I wanted the fast-paced growth setting of a startup, while also being at a company that was bigger and slightly later-staged enough for me to have access to the wealth of knowledge that comes from colleagues who have successfully built a company into something well established.

What’s a fun fact about yourself?

I speak four languages: English, Spanish, Urdu and Arabic.

Where’s your dream home?

Baldwin Hills/View Park/Windsor Hills, Los Angeles, CA.

What three words would you use to describe your experience at Redfin?

Welcoming, learning, guidance.

I’ve never coded in an industry setting before Redfin. It also opened my eyes to one of the greatest facets of working at Redfin: colleagues who love to help those around them learn quickly. I’ve found that all my questions, no matter how simplistic they seemed, were met with a welcoming and encouraging response.

Describe a typical day as an intern at Redfin.

I’ll come in sometime around 9 a.m. At 10 a.m. my team, Customer Growth, will have a stand-up where we go through our goals that each of us hopes to accomplish that day, as well as reporting and updating what phase various projects are on. I’ll go back to work, and then later on, the office will get lunch (Mondays and Wednesdays we have lunch catered). One of the nice things about SF’s Financial District (where the office is located) is that good food options are endless. I’ll go back to work, consistently asking questions to get familiar with the codebase, and usually get in a few rounds of ping-pong (an office staple) with other interns before heading out for the day.

What project are you most proud of working on at Redfin? What was your role?

Currently, I’m working on implementing a new Agent Recommendation section on the Sell My Home page on Redfin’s website. One of the other people on the team developed a new back end to automatically recommend an agent for people requesting a seller’s consultation, and I’m working to change the layout of the page and have the agent recommender display when a user lands on that page.

What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve experienced as a Redfin intern?

Getting familiar with the codebase was particularly daunting, considering how large and interdependent it was, and that I’ve never coded in an industry setting before Redfin. It also opened my eyes to one of the greatest facets of working at Redfin: colleagues who love to help those around them learn quickly. While it’s always daunting for an intern starting a new job to readily ask any question they may have, I’ve found that all my questions, no matter how simplistic they seemed, were met with a welcoming and encouraging response.

What is your favorite Redfin perk?

The food is incredible. From all the snacks (some of which are super difficult to find elsewhere), to the wide selection of import teas in the fridge, to the catered lunch three times a week, we are very well fed. And of course, there are endless options for a great lunch within a block or two of the office.

What has been your favorite intern event this summer and why?

Going to Alcatraz was a lot of fun. The history of the prison was quite fascinating, and the views and photo shoot opportunities from the island are unmatched.

Have you ever been an intern before? If so, how was interning at Redfin different from your previous experience?

My previous “intern” experiences have primarily been research assistant roles in academic settings, or doing work for companies through project courses offered at my school. This is definitely the first true industry setting I’ve been in, and things move a lot quicker, but people are also much more collaborative here than at the other places I’ve worked.

My Redfin Internship Experience: Meeran Ismail was originally published in Code Red on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Why did you choose to work at Redfin?

There are many tech companies out there, but not many offer this hybrid structure of customer contact, with an amazing digital experience that is complemented by a human out in the field. I feel that the customer experience at Redfin is so rich because the customers are engaging in a transaction that is an important life event. There is a lot of potential to make the customer happy.

What’s a fun fact about yourself?

I’ve been to every one of the contiguous states at least once, except Arkansas and Florida.

What’s your dream home?

Villa Volpi, a neoclassical palazzo on the Tyrrhenian Coast of Italy. I’ve seen the house many times from the outside, but unfortunately I always had to rely on tales of friends who were fortunate enough to be taken on a tour to get a sense of how it was inside and what the history of the place is (underground tunnels, an underground movie theater, and of course, a family saga are involved). Christie’s still has pictures on their website dating back at least two decades, when it was still occupied.

I feel that the culture here is very goal-oriented. It’s not so much about how it’s done or who has seniority, it’s about making the customer happy. I find that I work well in a culture where everyone shares the company’s values not just because they’re written on the wall, but because they believe in them.

What three words would you use to describe your experience at Redfin?

Inspiration, connection, insight.

What skills did you learn during your internship?

I’ve learned to synthesize research data and to see beyond the obvious.

What do you consider to be your biggest learning opportunity during your internship?

I’ve learned a lot about our real estate agents, how they’re working and in what ways Agent Tools is helpful for them and where they struggle. I almost feel like I could go out and be an agent myself!

What advice would you give a future Redfin intern?

Take advantage of all of the opportunities to connect with other Redfinnians, whether during intern events, hackathon or simply while having lunch.

What is your favorite Redfin perk?

Being part of an awesome group of talented and motivated people who stick together and say “yes, and…” instead of “yes, but…” Clif Bars. Beers at sunset on a Friday night.

How would you describe your experience with Redfin’s culture?

I feel that the culture here is very goal-oriented. It’s not so much about how it’s done or who has seniority, it’s about making the customer happy. I find that I work well in a culture where everyone shares the company’s values not just because they’re written on the wall, but because they believe in them.

What’s the best advice that you received during your internship at Redfin?

Don’t be afraid to ask!

My Redfin Internship Experience: Stefan Deuchler was originally published in Code Red on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Why did you choose to work at Redfin?

I decided on Redfin because it’s the perfect size. It’s large enough to be stable, but still small enough to move fast and break things.

What’s a fun fact about yourself?

I was in the 2013 film Man of Steel. Although I played a small role, it was the biggest production I’ve ever been a part of as a professional actor, and getting to work with and meet so many incredibly accomplished people in the field was really exciting.

Where’s your dream home?

Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania.

What three words would you use to describe your experience at Redfin?

Fun, friendly, fast.

Redfin is large enough to do amazing things, but small enough that everyone can have a substantial impact — even the interns.

What’s been your favorite project assigned to you, and what did you accomplish?

My favorite project was revamping the map search filters. I learned a lot about how to write clean code — code that didn’t just work, but would work for a long time and be easily understood by other developers later on. I also learned how to really test my code. There are many steps involved in writing production-quality code that you won’t learn from working on smaller projects, and one of them is techniques for proving that your code works. By the time my feature shipped, I was very confident that the code I wrote would remain stable out in the open. Finally, my project was important to Redfin — about 35% of our map page users see the filters. The fact that I was in charge of making it more intuitive and aesthetically pleasing was really motivating. Like I said earlier, Redfin is large enough to do amazing things, but small enough that everyone can have a substantial impact — even the interns.

Describe a typical day as an intern at Redfin.

I would take the BART from Berkeley, get to work around 9:30, and stand up with my team at 10 to discuss project updates and look at performance metrics. After stand-up, I would spend the day coding, going to small meetings and periodically playing ping-pong with the other interns.

What was your mentorship experience like?

My mentor was great. He was always available to answer any question I had. I appreciated how he was always there to help, but was otherwise mostly hands-off. He let me learn on my own, but would still patiently guide me when I was lost.

What has been the most exciting thing you’ve done while at Redfin?

Shipping the new filters was incredible. Hitting “merge” on two and a half months of work was extremely satisfying, and I was excited to watch Redfin’s millions of home-seekers use my filters to find exactly what they were looking for.

What surprised you about being an intern at Redfin?

I was surprised by just how integrated the interns were with the rest of the team. Sure, I was younger than everyone, but we all still ate together, laughed together and listened to each other’s opinions on implementations. “Everybody sweeps the floors,” full-timers and interns shoulder to shoulder.

What was your favorite intern event this summer, and why?

My favorite event was visiting Alcatraz. We got a lot of fun pictures out of it, and I got to do something people often buy tickets for months in advance.
