Pros

Upstart is a true innovator in the lending space. There has been tons of growth which has made the recruiting side very fun and challenging. People are very talented yet humble. Leadership is very transparent and likes to keep the company updated every Friday during TGIF. Overall, Upstart is a great place to grow and challenge yourself. You'll be given a lot of autonomy and ownership of your work and you can make a big impact.

Cons

Not a con, but fast-paced environments aren't for everyone.

Pros

Upstart is an amazing company with a structure and stability that makes you feel like you work in a Fortune 500 establishment, but all of the agility, autonomy and accessibility of the best startup you could imagine. A wise, thoughtful and integrous leadership team, incredibly talented and driven teammates and a mission that truly matters... working for Upstart has been an incredible journey so far! Looking forward to all that's to come.

Cons

None - I miss everyone I work with and cannot wait until the WFH world returns to normalcy.
