Pros

GREAT coworkers, non-comp perks were sweet, transparent leadership

Cons

Pay seemed lower than average, my manager didn't know how to manage, remotes nice but the best thing about Upstart was the culture - remote + poor additions to the team ruined the culture a bit

Pros

decent benefits, liked my team

Cons

layoffs, bad leadership team, not transparent, focus doesn't actually seem to be on providing quality support to the applicants or borrower... just getting as many loans funded and failed growth projects so it's easy to feel like you're job is kinda pointless
