Pros

Remote work is their only bright spot at the moment.

Cons

Consumer lending is a hard business. The technical leaders think they can figure it out when they really just overconfident charlatans who knows neither engineering, finance, nor machine learning.

Pros

Benefits - health, dental, vision were included. In-office lunch was provided daily. Quarterly bonuses in operations.

Cons

Hourly employees earned hours at a slow pace, the stated unlimited PTO was only for salaried employees. Support teams have backlogs or slow to address things. Career opportunities did not arise often and if they did loads of people would apply.
