Pros

Nice new office in SF, you will find some great people scattered throughout. I had to meet the 20 word minimum that's what these words are for. Not a lot more for the "pros" section.

Cons

Everyone is overworked and there is NO culture. If things aren't happening management blames everyone else instead of presenting a clear vision to lead. Poor leadership all around. If there is any leadership. Who is the CFO of Prosper? No one. People are here one day and then they are gone. I've seen people come in so excited and motivated then just a couple months later look deflated and defeated. I want to get into more detail but am concerned with getting too specific. The last time there was a few bad reviews, they went into damage control mode and the CEO told the whole company to stop writing bad Glassdoor reviews. Then all of a sudden there were a bunch of generic 5 star reviews. Sort these reviews by date and you'll see it. Bottom line - there is so much going on in SF right now. There are opportunities everywhere. Don't commit yourself to a company that is so poorly managed and is all about flash and looking good while competitors are closing in very quickly. You will loose (lots of) sleep, feel under appreciated, be under compensated and not be thanked for all the tireless work you put in. Not worth it. Go find somewhere else while the opportunity is there.

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
