Pros

The business is growing, people are really smart and you can learn from anyone in the company. The leaders have office hours and are open to talking to anyone. The office is brand new and the culture is collaborative and focused on iterating and improvement. The leaders are trustworthy and has the people in mind. Very little to no politics.

Cons

The company is getting larger so its hard to know everything that is going on.

Pros

Upstart is the best company I've worked for. The team is smart, driven, and committed, yet humble and easy to get along with. It feels like whatever happens, the team always finds a way to work together and accomplish hard things quickly. It's great that so far we've maintained a great culture where everyone believes in the mission and feels valued and important.

Cons

Things happen so quickly that you really have to pay attention to stay in the loop
