Pros

-Benefits -Unlimited PTO -Amazing office (with a great view over the Bay)

Cons

Management has had ample time to get the house in order but is simply failing across the board. The problems will persist until that happens, regardless of external factors such as market conditions and investor demand. The office environment is toxic as a result, and is amplified by the company's notorious "firing culture". Instead of constantly turning over the employee base in an attempt to improve inefficiencies, might be time to take a long hard look at the situation and make adjustments where it will actually have an impact (i.e. executive management). The CTO is extremely pompous and arrogant, and I truly feel for the many people under his reign. HR is also in need of a revamp. Building a brand is not only the responsibility of the marketing dept (who is doing a phenomenal job btw, go Cheryl). HR should be focused on this as well if they want to attract top talent, but the fact that they are not speaks volumes. It's 2016, time to wake up. Now might be a good time to start building that company "culture" you so often speak of as well. As far as your employees are concerned it doesn't exist.

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
