Pros

- Work on a product that materially improves the lives of customers (the highest NPS score in the industry by far) by giving them loans quickly and at lower interest rates than others. Make the world a better place. Engineers love this :) - Work with high quality colleagues. I see colleagues who are from some of the best companies and other extremely talented and hard working ones. Lots of passion. New engineering leadership is quite awesome. - Work in a company that is experiencing hockey stick growth. It's a unicorn.

Cons

- Hockey stick growth comes with challenges. I think there was close to 500% growth in employee count in the last year. Amazing. But comes with challenges like physical space, systems that are straining to catch up, lots of code that needs to be rearchitected, etc. Challenges but good problems to have. - We are hiring like crazy so onboarding all the new employees while completing our own projects. - San Francisco location is not great for everyone. We need an office in South Bay for heaven's sake.

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
