Pros

Smart people, Good benefits package

Cons

You want to play political games? You got it! You want middle management who pretends to know not only what your job is but also their own? You got it! There are some good people at Upstart. The problem is, the company has become such a dog-eat-dog world that those good people are either pushed out, have their voices drowned out, or just stone-walled. People are scared to say anything because it means one of the above.

Pros

Benefits & Perks were nice

Cons

Layoffs on layoffs on layoffs, haven't hired anyone new in over a year, only to replace if needed. They can't get their shi*t together and seem to be running around like chicken with their heads cut off. There isnt enough business coming in and won't be long before they sell or layoff more.

Pros

Opportunities to work on cutting edge tech. Great benefits. Solving interesting problems. Culture has vastly improved in the past year.

Cons

Depending on what team you work with, projects may not be so interesting. Only a set of teams work on newer things, while many work on older technology, although there are lots of improvements being made to change that.
