Pros

Prosper has a big opportunity to change the way lending is done in the US. It already has two products that work- a loan and an ability to invest in loans - that are relevant to a lot of people. The company is now on solid footing (after a turbulent year of 2016) - it is cash flow positive and has $100M in cash. Leadership is aligned and people throughout the organization are collaborating well. It is transparent and clear what the goals are and what the progress is towards those goals. Good office culture and colleagues you enjoy hanging out with.

Cons

Prosper is in a very competitive market and a clear winner has yet to emerge. The company still has to prove its ability to succeed through a recession. Some employees are burnt out after a rough year of 2016. But new hires are strong and bring fresh wind.

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my time at Prosper. It is a company that offers genuine opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges within your role. I absolutely love my team, my manager, and find the work itself deeply fulfilling. One of the standouts for me is the leadership. Having come from a previous company where leadership was hesitant to make difficult choices, which led to multiple rounds of layoffs, I have a massive appreciation for how Prosper’s leadership operates. They are willing to make short-term, sometimes unpopular decisions because they prioritize the long-term safety and stability of all employees. It is a huge relief to work for a financially stable organization where I can see myself building a long-term career. Prosper is also one of the most diverse companies I have been a part of. From my perspective, the compensation is very competitive compared to other industry ranges I have seen, and the benefits offerings meet my needs.

Cons

While the leadership makes the right calls for long-term stability, the resulting tough decisions can sometimes be difficult to navigate in the moment, the transparency behind the decisions is super helpful.

Pros

Fast-paced environment, able to directly contribute to company goals Good people who genuinely believe in the mission We regularly hear customer testimonials detailing how we've had a positive impact on their lives Leadership is transparent about company performance Only 2 days a week in the office

Cons

The company performed well in 2025, but we didn't see some benefits return until this year which has caused residual frustration Smaller teams offer less growth opportunity Some mid-level leaders manage up very well Pay is okay, but not competitive with larger tech companies
