Fake company, absolute nightmare

Pros

None, other than most people are friendly to each other as everyone shares a common hatred, mistrust and 'terrified to speak up' bond with one another.

Cons

** Please ignore the 2-3 fake 5 star posts that will follow this one, they are forced by 1-2 certain VPs to their team following a bad, real review ** The 'management' team is a complete joke - it's about 4 inexperienced goons who are obsessed with their egos, don't know what they're doing and act above the rest of the company (literally don't say hi to employees) ** The entire company is, as the CEO once described himself in a townhall, "embarrassing". There is *literally* *no* *tech*; the entire mission statement is a lie - customers are being deceived and manually misdirected so Fundera can make a buck ** The employee base is a rotating door of any warm body they can get to fill a seat, until that person quits or is fired a few months later ** Bro-culture where the "sales team" (actually a call center of 50 people who field inbound calls all day every day) is one big clique and rules all ** If you're a yes man and can tolerate a toxic culture and sit at your desk from 9am-7pm, you could probably survive a year or two ** The company is going no where, fast. My only advise is to run

Pros

The office space is nice for New York City.

Cons

This place hires in groups and lays off half (overhires) sales team after 6 months. It’s a boys club with most people coming from the Amherst soccer team but will prioritize interviews for hockey plays and minor league baseball. You MUST drink the kool aid, don’t question anything- they won’t like it. If you’re female be prepared to spend a lot of time stroking egos. They convince themselves they’re doing a great service when in reality there is a reason traditional banks won’t make these high interest loans. Lots of potential to do massive damage. They’re kidding themselves.

Killer mission, killer product, killer team.

Pros

The mission matters to everyone on the team. We are solving real problems for real users and helping them achieve their dreams. It's inspiring how every single person at Fundera takes this to heart. The CEO and the leadership team lead by example. They do a great job of leading and motivating the team. It's really fun to see how the long-term vision is happening, slowly but surely. Each one of the leaders brings a unique perspective to the table and their bond and relationship are a great example for the team. The product vision and roadmap is strong. We do a really good job of figuring out what we can test and build, and how those things get us closer towards our goals. There are tons of interesting problems to solve, and everyone is empowered to run at them, try things, fail, iterate, learn, and grow along the way. The team is full of smart, talented, and kind people. Everyone goes out of their way to help each other and collaborate. Everyone is an expert at what they do and passionate about it.

Cons

Despite being in the tech space, the company still has a strong bias towards sales process. If we're going to grow up as a product organization, we need to be honest about what influence it should have over the product. Keeping the status quo just to avoid change is no longer good enough. Benefits and perks are very 'meh' for the startup space. It feels like we haven't really grown out of the scrappy mentality there.
