Pros

Leadership is accommodating.

Environment fosters career development (both interpersonal and technical).

Bi-annual reviews help you adjust and improve quickly. You always know where you stand and how you can improve.

Technical work is deep and challenging, you will learn new things and be part of improving a large software system.

There is mentorship and guidance when you need it, and opportunities to mentor others when they need it.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, so there are growing pains organizationally.

Decisions require input across multiple teams, that can cause things to move slower at times. This relates to the recent growth of the company -- sometimes decision making processes move slower than you would like.

Advice to Management

Don't stop improving. One of the best parts about working at Upstart is that my concerns are met with a level of seriousness and action that result in belief that any individual can help shape the company for the better.

Continue being upfront and honest.
