      Irrational leadership in a poor economy means hell for all

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Earnin was once a shining opportunity: nice coworkers, seems like a company that cares about its employees due to the heavy focus of culture during the interview) - Decent benefits, though they started to go down and be stringent, such as asking for employees to log official days off when we have unlimited

      Cons

      Where do I start... - Ram is a highly irrational CEO, one who commands with his feelings and not facts. He also changes his opinions every day, his message changes every all hands, and disrespect/disregard any advice given by experts on the teams. Even worse as he is on the ground dictating every product feature. You have to obey him to stay. Else you’re out the door, just like the basket of VPs and leaders who left this company. - Business has been tough before covid. I thought we had a chance to turn it around with the new products. However deadline slipped and nothing happened. - Everything is a black box and you won’t get the transparency promised to you. When you learn it will be too late. Evidenced by many poorly communicated firings and layoffs.

      Horrible company that lost it's vision.

      Pros

      Fast paced start-up w/ promise.

      Cons

      This vision for the company's direction changes often and without warning. It's unclear what is a priority for the company. Middle management is terrible, engaging in the tactic of constant meetings and generation of worthless documentation. Engineering teams are poorly run. Not an enjoyable work environment.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. As you mention, Earnin is a fast-paced start-up environment; this is what drives many of us at Earnin. Change is a constant in our business, and we ask our team members to be nimble as we take on the challenges of a changing landscape. Recently we have had to react and change our focus to support our community members because of COVID-19, many of whom now have different work situations. We are proud to be working to find and implement solutions that continue to align with our mission. Regarding your comment about dissatisfaction with management, we urge employees to come and talk to their HR partners or a member of management to discuss concerns and share feedback, this enables us to address the specific concerns. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career.

      A great mission with challenged execution

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Many smart, fun, motivated coworkers at this company! 2. Solid advancement potential for those who can navigate the political landscape here 3. The stated mission of the company is an inspiring one 4. Much of the lower level management is fantastic

      Cons

      1. Startup culture has disappeared in many ways over the past couple years. What used to be a relatively tight-knit team defined by collaboration, excellence, and camraderie has become replaced by in-fighting, politics, and favoritism. This is highly attributable to decisions made by the executive team. 2. Newer employee hires don't seem as mission driven as those who were hired in the past 3. Executive team doesn't seem as interested in the company's mission as it used to be 4. Poor decision-making by executives and a lack of accountability with respect to hiring and strategy 5. Whiplash from reorg changes occurring every 3 months
