Pros

Usual silicon valley perks like snacks and ping pong tables

Cons

Earnin is a funny company. They will push the fact that they are “mission driven” , “transparent” and “community first” down your throat. They are anything but that - there is a complete lack of transparency in any decision making and they will fallback to any manipulative behavior manipulation to get people to “tip” more. Great example of a silicon valley company pretending to “change the world”

Pros

Benefits are 4/5! Just the standard in tech but not exceptional. Great and talented people working mid-level and entry-level roles at the company.

Cons

Top leaders tend to be highly political and biased. The organizational structure is strongly rooted in connections and often feels like a family business, if you’re not “family,” you’re disposable. Promotions are slow, and there is a lack of transparency around career growth, which has led to the loss of strong talent. !! Customers do not come first.
