Pros

I like 4 thinks about working at Earnin 1) The mission to build a better financial system is real. Product teams focus on customer value first, taking the long view that what is best for the customer is best for the business. 2) Teams have autonomy to set product/project directions. We run in-depth quarterly planning process to evaluate customer/business data, and then teams have autonomy to select the highest impact projects to tackle. This creates a culture of ownership (and is exciting!). 3) Earnin is a flexible work culture, especially for people who commute/have families. I do my best focused work at home, and at Earnin I can do this as often as needed. 4) There are great growth/development opportunities -- just raise your hand. Finally, equity/compensation + perks are solid (Caltrain Gopass, good/healthy snacks, >weekly company lunches, dinner if you work after 7pm, etc).

Cons

My only complaint is the onboarding process. While everyone was quite helpful/open to answering questions, I felt silly asking many basic questions that could have been documented. This would help new employees feel more welcomed + get up to speed more quickly.

Pros

I joined the company as a Backend Software Engineer. Overall, I'd say the company had several strengths. The initial offer was competitive, and the role provided a strong foundation for developing my interpersonal skills. Working professionally means regularly collaborating with a wide range of personalities and navigating competing deadlines. Learned how to work well with others, regulate emotions and developed emotional distance between me and my work (matured as a professional a lot). I found that as long as deliverables were met, the work environment remained stable.

Cons

There was considerable turnover on the engineering team, which I understood to be related in part to concerns about the tech stack and the company's overall direction.
