Pros

Good idea - renovation loans for consumers that consider the ARV. I enjoyed my co-workers. At the time, there seemed to be a push to improve the product and experience. Brought in a trainer and started modernizing onboarding.

Cons

Poor execution—underwriting was convoluted, and despite being told to pitch "30 to 45 day close," it was usually a 60+, if not 90+-day process that would frustrate borrowers and lead to a large amount of churn. Weak IP - "tech company" with extremely underwhelming tech for anyone actually familiar with the space. Really just a lending company looking for VC capital. Compensation was awful Inexperienced leadership team - very obviously have limited mortgage experience despite trying to "talk the talk" Big promises during the interview - borderline bait and switch Underpaid and overworked OPS and at the time only 1 UW leading to pain point #1. The process was generally excruciating. Multiple rounds of layoffs

Pros

Joining this company four years ago has been one of the best career decisions I've made. From day one, I've been given the autonomy to own my role and the trust of the team to execute without micromanagement. I genuinely feel valued — not just as a contributor, but as a person. Leadership holds people accountable, but in a solutions-oriented way. There's no finger-pointing culture here; when challenges come up, the focus is on fixing them and moving forward. That kind of environment makes it easy to bring your best every day. The three co-founders are genuinely good people, and that tone starts at the top — they've built a culture that feels equitable, respectful, and welcoming. There's also a real commitment to work-life balance here, not just the buzzword version. Time off is truly respected; you're not expected to monitor messages or respond while you're out. That boundary is modeled from leadership down, which makes it actually mean something.

Cons

Like most mortgage fintech companies, there's an inherent tension between legacy industry thinking and a more modern, improvement-driven approach. Some experienced hires bring deep industry knowledge that is genuinely valuable, but can also come with a "this is how it's always been done" mindset that slows down progress. A stronger collective commitment to growth and change would go a long way.
