Pros

Nothing great here except HQ is in city. Close to many nice restaurants. Capital investment, risk, fraud and CS teams are good as they're the only folks who work hard in this company

Cons

Absolutely no innovation interms of product, technology and business. All (product, technology and business) areas compete to suck big time... CPO as a leader who can only think of cosmetic items to fix. All his product staff are paycheck collectors who havent done any innovative products/offerings to INCREASE SINGLE BIT OF REVENUE. People who can't spell a single technology are in top two tech positions... hahah. They're responsible for Prosper's complicated technology vision. I seriously pitty this company and its CEO for believing these incompetent leaders. TECHNOLOGY means zero innovation here. vpEng CANNOT identify any technological problem. just ask around and turn switches off for envs. Technology team has been guided to just oil the wheels - fix environments, change goodrelease cadence w/o fixing code quality, bring up stg2. thats it fellas. because of CTO's and VPE's goupies and politics, lot of good people are leaving. especially, there are no Systems Ops people to run production.

Pros

Rich CEO with strong contacts has brought the company where it is Sales focused Great office space and location If you don't directly interact with the upper mgmt, you might skip the drama but also the money

Cons

-All mid and upper level management was at lower positions before their positions prosper. They are all doing this for a first time and doing a terrible job. -Incompetent, insecure mid-level management. Mid level managers are very moody and emotionally unstable. They have very little understanding of the business and consequently make poor prioritization decisions. They can't resist the temptation of abusing the power they have for the first time in their lives at the cost of Prosper. Their loyalty and priorities being questionable. -Upper management likes to hire middle mgmt they can control and thereby selectively rejects innovative leaders. Without innovative leaders, there is no hope for disrupting any industry. -Management is always planning and doesn't understand execution challenges or lifecycle -Sub-par engineering staff. Fresh of school Product cum Project Managers. - An ever cycling management ultimately only gets fired for getting nothing done
