Pros

Great benefits and being able to work from home

Cons

If you're a product designer considering joining, be mindful of where you want your career trajectory to go. C-suites and the head of product treat you like a production horse rather than an actual product designer, expecting you to churn things out with no resources. They spread you out thin and everyone works on multiple, large-scale products without support. There are now no managerial level product designers to also learn and grow from as they’ve now implemented that the product design team should all be an IC level. If you want to grow as a designer, this is not the place for you. 'Optional Work Fridays' are also a lie if you're working 10 hour days and there's still work to do. Everyone is always overworked.

Pros

I have been with Figure for 5 years, starting as an Associate Engineer and growing into a Senior Engineer. This company has genuinely changed my life and helped me build the kind of future I dreamed about when I was first starting out in college. I’ve worked alongside truly excellent engineers, been given meaningful growth opportunities, and have been more than fairly compensated along the way, including raises that kept my pay highly competitive even between promotions. The work is engaging, challenging, and keeps me sharp. The culture is one of the best parts of the company: a rare blend of fast iteration, high ownership, strong engineering talent, and controlled chaos in the best possible way. Figure moves quickly, embraces emerging technology, and continues to grow without losing the energy that makes it exciting to work here.

Cons

The pace may not be for everyone. Figure has a startup-like culture where things move fast, priorities can shift, and teams are expected to adapt quickly. I personally find that refreshing and motivating because it keeps the work from becoming monotonous. However, people coming from environments where change is slower or processes are more rigid may need time to adjust.
