Pros

Rich CEO with strong contacts has brought the company where it is Sales focused Great office space and location If you don't directly interact with the upper mgmt, you might skip the drama but also the money

Cons

-All mid and upper level management was at lower positions before their positions prosper. They are all doing this for a first time and doing a terrible job. -Incompetent, insecure mid-level management. Mid level managers are very moody and emotionally unstable. They have very little understanding of the business and consequently make poor prioritization decisions. They can't resist the temptation of abusing the power they have for the first time in their lives at the cost of Prosper. Their loyalty and priorities being questionable. -Upper management likes to hire middle mgmt they can control and thereby selectively rejects innovative leaders. Without innovative leaders, there is no hope for disrupting any industry. -Management is always planning and doesn't understand execution challenges or lifecycle -Sub-par engineering staff. Fresh of school Product cum Project Managers. - An ever cycling management ultimately only gets fired for getting nothing done

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
