Growing company with tremendous responsibility

Pros

Get an amazing amount of responsibility from day 1 - every role has a real impact on the business trajectory, customer experience etc. If you are someone who wants to take initiative, the opportunities are expansive. Ideas are taken seriously by senior management with ability to execute and own your own projects. Very flat organization - great place for a young person to grow quickly

Cons

Limited perks compared to most SV startups Commute, though flexible working schedule helps

Pros

You'll get an inside look at how it is to work at a start up, to experience the rapid changes that occur, as well as working with bright, fun colleagues. The people are by far the best part of working at Upstart.

Cons

None that I can think of at this moment.
