Pros

- Great people - everyone here (for the most part) are hard workers and are incredibly smart, not to mention low ego and humble - Mission - love that our mission is to disrupt the financial services industry. Bringing investors to borrowers in this way really makes me feel like our company is doing something meaningful. - Solid benefits - free massages, barista, beer and wine bar, gym on-site, free snacks, and a 401k match as well as a generous PTO policy

Cons

- No raises were granted this past year unless you were promoted. Nothing makes you feel more underappreciated than that. When you feel underappreciated, it's hard to find value in the work you do. - When it comes to working across teams, office politics begin to show.

Pros

New office, new name, same great company. Good growth opportunity where you can see your impact.

Cons

Not a huge con, but better snacks or catered lunch would be a plus.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
