Pros

Fast money during fast times. People were working a ton of hours during the housing boom and the parking lots were full of nice shiny cars. Everyone worked really hard to make the company as much money as it could and helped them save where they could during the downturn. There was great company spirit when Anthony Hsieh was CEO and the fast paced growth was insane and fun to be a part of. They have the best marketing and best leads in the industry for the mortgage bankers. They had a lot of potential if it hadn't been time to cash out.

Cons

Greed is everywhere from the executive management down to the middle managers. Plenty of corporate politics and BS.

Advice to Senior Management

Too late now as the company is busted by the bear market but back in 2006 there were too many employees that were 'there from the beginning' that were incompetent at leading a company that was growing @ 40 heads a week.
