Pros

1. people - everyone is intelligent yet humble at the same time. Engineering, product, and data science teams have good sense of camaraderie 2. business - growing rapidly! Path to IPO is much more apparent than in most startups as executive team puts an emphasis on growing the business economically/sensibly over wasteful endeavors 3. mission - ultimately aiming to create a fairer system with respect to who can access credit and at what price.

Cons

sometimes need to take a step back and ensure the foundations are in place to support it in say recruiting, managers, systems, etc

Pros

young, engaged people. flexible with shifts and time-off requests. Occasionally catered food

Cons

Lack of upwards growth potential. It's difficult to move up and I don't know if moving up is worth the amount of time required
