Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: - Current CEO is a genuinely nice guy who always tries to do what is right for the employees and the customers, both borrowers and investors.
- Benefits are pretty decent and, other than no free lunch, are better than at a startup.
- Very liberal-minded organization that is sensitive about gender and racial equality.
- Free snacks, a gourmet coffee bar, onsite gym, and massage, etc.
- Very good work-life balance.
- If you enjoy working at a bank, this place is better than a bank.
Cons: - No sense of urgency as a business and the exec team has an over-inflated view of the company as a "market leader". No hunger to be great. Just wants to be ok and survive.
- The exec team, mainly the CEO and COO, are big talkers but poor at execution. The stock price has been a dud for so long, which proves all the kool-aid talk is just fake news.
- Company moves like an old credit union rather than a tech startup.
- Bureaucracy of processes and there is a lack of innovation or exciting projects that attracts tech talent.
- Because of the sucky stock price and lack of a compelling vision, employees are leaving in droves and the caliber of people it is attracting in its tech pool are not exactly the best and the brightest.
