Pros: I joined Upstart looking for a challenging startup environment with a healthy work/life balance and greater responsibility than I had at my previous company—a tall order for sure, but Upstart has come through in every way. The founding team and executive staff are incredible (CTO in particular gets a special shout out from me), benefits and compensation are great, and the work is in service of a product that helps normal people in a not-insignificant way. The environment is one where everyone is working as hard as they can to make good things happen—it's incredibly motivating. The company is small enough at this point that I can attest that literally nobody is a jerk, and everyone feels like a vital part of the success.

Cons: Office is a little far away from stuff (although there's a great cafe with a wide variety in the neighboring building).

Pros: - Management that genuinely cares about your well being - Amazing compensation - Bonuses - Major holidays off work

Cons: When we do go back to the office, we will be in the Easton area which isn't ideal for me.... but the greatness of this company makes up for that.

Pros: The only pro is the money they give you to purchase tech items.

Cons: The way they treat their employees is horrible. They make you clock in and out at certain times. The managers are also very strict with OT. The quality assurance team makes you take quizzes every week and if you fail you go on PIP. Low pay job for all the work you do. Don't recommend it.
