Pros

Free parking in San Mateo , Casual . Benefits are OK but below average fro Bay Area . Free lunch once per month.

Cons

Very unprofessional. Outdated mentality, slow, light years behind on technology in all departments. Promotions from within are not likely. Management is out of touch with reality. They act like that do you a favor by employing you, but the company is not that great. Does not promote innovation, does not attract talent. VPs all earn a lot more than regular employees. They match 401K only after 3 years . They do not tell you that in your offer letter. Company culture is segregated by groups. Sales run everything. If you are not in sales you are not important and not valuable. No opportunity to learn new things, no good mentors. Politics are terrible. You will have nothing to put your resume after 5 years with the company.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
