Pros

The work/life balance and ability to work remote is excellent. Benefits are paid for and executed in the best interest of the employee. Leadership was excellent until 2023.

Cons

No annual reviews or merit increases are given. COLA increases may be received if you initiate the request. Departments are shuffled frequently with no communication outside of leadership. One day, you log on and find out you have a different boss and directive. The company has reductions in staff at least annually only to be followed by a slew of new hires with less experience and smaller compensation expectations shortly after. Change communication is siloed to a select few and the rest are left blindsided with substantial changes to their role or department. Sadly, recent unethical hires and promotions were made without postings and favoritism has reared its ugly head. Reporting questionable behaviors doesn’t do any good. They are swept under the rug with no offered employee protection against retaliation. The company gives no regard to those who have remained loyal over the years. If you’re considering working here, do your research on financial stability and portfolio performance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the contributions you made during your 3–4 years at GROUNDFLOOR Finance. We’re glad to hear our remote-first model, work/life balance, and benefits stood out positively. We also want to clarify a few areas raised in this review. We don’t use a single standardized annual review cycle; instead, we emphasize ongoing manager feedback and regular “bullseye” conversations, and we also conduct quarterly reviews for employees with an anniversary in that quarter. We support growth through multiple feedback loops, internal opportunities, learning/training/development stipends, and career pathways across teams. On alignment and communication: we set company-level goals annually and quarterly, with business units and departments cascading those goals into team and role-level priorities. We also communicate progress and changes through a company-wide monthly all-hands, weekly department/business-unit all-hands, and additional updates via Slack and email. We take concerns about fairness, ethics, and speak-up culture seriously. We have strict anti-retaliation policies and an open-door People Ops team for reporting concerns and seeking conflict resolution. We also value long-term tenure and consistently recognize employee anniversaries company-wide, supported by a dedicated anniversary program. We appreciate candid feedback because it helps us continue improving, and we wish you the best in your next chapter.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contributions you made during your 3–4 years at GROUNDFLOOR Finance. We’re really glad to hear the engineering culture stood out positively—that’s something we care deeply about and work to invest in. We also want to address the concerns you raised. Like many companies, there have been periods where we’ve had to make difficult staffing decisions, and we recognize the impact that has on individuals and teams. On PTO payout, policies can vary by role and location and may also change over time. We aim to be clear and transparent about how PTO is earned and handled at separation, and we encourage anyone with questions about their specific situation to reach out to our People Ops team so we can review it directly. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best in your next chapter.
