Pros

- Good people to work with - Good people managers

Cons

Company is hiring too much. I would request people to not join Earnin as the new products are on the border line and may not work. There may be massive layoffs as there has been excessive hiring in the last quarter. There are people with no tasks. The company made the same mistake last time and is repeating because the leadership changed. The new CTO is responsible for this and is hiring internationally so I do not recommend joining earnin even if you the highest offer.

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.
