Pros

Decent snacks. Startup where you can develop a variety of skills. Great location in downtown SF near embarcadero. Some smart people to learn from.

Cons

Layoffs were done in a very unprofessional manner. During a surprising all hands meeting, all employees were told to go to their desks to wait for a potential email telling them they were laid off. Everyone was a nervous wreck while watching their friends and coworkers pack up their things to leave. First thing the CPO says after the layoffs is that now it's much easier to fit in meeting rooms. Sexual harassment issues were left unaddressed for months. Product management that tells designers and engineers to build products with no direction. Culture that is driven by fear of the CPO and other executives. CEO that sells all his shares and then boasts to the media he is not taking a salary this year. This is a sinking ship you want no part of.

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my time at Prosper. It is a company that offers genuine opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges within your role. I absolutely love my team, my manager, and find the work itself deeply fulfilling. One of the standouts for me is the leadership. Having come from a previous company where leadership was hesitant to make difficult choices, which led to multiple rounds of layoffs, I have a massive appreciation for how Prosper’s leadership operates. They are willing to make short-term, sometimes unpopular decisions because they prioritize the long-term safety and stability of all employees. It is a huge relief to work for a financially stable organization where I can see myself building a long-term career. Prosper is also one of the most diverse companies I have been a part of. From my perspective, the compensation is very competitive compared to other industry ranges I have seen, and the benefits offerings meet my needs.

Cons

While the leadership makes the right calls for long-term stability, the resulting tough decisions can sometimes be difficult to navigate in the moment, the transparency behind the decisions is super helpful.

Pros

Fast-paced environment, able to directly contribute to company goals Good people who genuinely believe in the mission We regularly hear customer testimonials detailing how we've had a positive impact on their lives Leadership is transparent about company performance Only 2 days a week in the office

Cons

The company performed well in 2025, but we didn't see some benefits return until this year which has caused residual frustration Smaller teams offer less growth opportunity Some mid-level leaders manage up very well Pay is okay, but not competitive with larger tech companies
