Pros

There are not many companies in Utah that are in the FinTech industry, one of the fastest growing industries in the nation. Prosper is the pioneer of Marketplace lending and the culture really reflects that. Fast paced, innovative, and value focused culture leads to awesome employee engagement. The company offers amazing benefits: Stock options $$$, 401K matching, full medical, vision, and dental, PTO, sick and holiday pay, $1000/year gym reimbursements, commuter benefits, stocked kitchen, etc

Cons

None, great company to work for.

Pros

Writing code that handles a mind boggling amount of money and grows a company at record rates. Knowing that small adjustments I've made as feedback to requirements passed down to me have generated far more reoccurring revenue than my salary. Knowing that my code working well in production directly correlates to the success of the company. Having stock options!! Working for a successful company. Getting paid well and given as much responsibility as I accept. Being able to pick and choose pretty much any project in the pipe I want to work on at any layer, ultimately getting the experience I've always wanted in my career and dreamed about when studying computer science for all those years but always had trouble finding during the down turn. Getting experience building for scale and involved in the process of choosing and implementing new technologies to solve complicated problems with creative solutions. Having my talents shine based on my ability to execute and promoted and respected based on these accomplishments. Working with some really smart people I enjoy conversing with at work or over a happy hour beer. The upper management are super nice guys that want to create a super cool fin tech company. We have nice adjustable desks for standing or sitting, two kegs in the kitchen, a pool table, nap room, roof deck, artistic decor, ect...

Cons

Now the engineering team is much larger and more chill now but previously the work was overwhelmingly hard. Not necessarily super long hours but extremely hard hours, exhausting and challenging in different ways. Passionate people with high stress burning them out to a rage quit. Throughout the ups and downs of the long history of the engineering department the management has turned over and rebuilt many times and thus the legacy code is fragmented by these shifting priorities, resulting in a seemingly pre-mature global rewrite. It's can be challenging managing priorities and trying to optimize for business value when that means accruing more technical debt, often iterating new features quickly instead of fixing old process and bugs. Dealing with frustrations with environment issues, merge issues from extreme business pivots, and just general rapid growth chaos tech debt inefficiencies. Prosper is one of those experiences that I’ve frequently wished was over but after the dust settles I'm super proud of my work and glad I did it. I guess that could be said about anything worth doing in life...

Pros

This is the best company I have ever worked for. They really care about values and culture and making sure this will be a fun place to work at. The industry is great and the company is growing very fast which in turn creates a ton of opportunity.

Cons

Very complex business that requires a lot of learning. The pressure to preform is immense.
