Pros

Great product, great people, sharp leadership, great culture, great benefits, plenty of growth opportunities, remote (for tech roles)

Cons

I honestly can’t complain. The cofounders are transparent. They take live Q&A every Friday during TGIF. There are current macro concerns (which is why I marked thumbs down for 6 month outlook) but Upstart seems to be in pretty good shape.
