Pros

The vision is admirable, and the market need is high.

Cons

There are deep issues with meritocracy (one of their core values) being interpreted as favoritism and massive promotions based on how chummy you are with the CTO/Co-founder. This has been expressed to leadership, including the CEO by almost every team across the company and nothing has changed. The product management team has no prior product experience, the sales team is consistently churning, people are randomly promoted for no apparent reason (other than being BFFs with the CTO), and the few people left there that actually care about making the product better are left to pick up the pieces. There are few of them left because the good people are tired of waiting for things to improve and have moved on.

Pros

Awesome place to intern after Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior year summer. You get a tremendous amount of exposure to private equity, real estate, and public investments. Tons of experience with excel, due diligence, and writing. Great experience

Cons

Little to no full time prospects for college interns.
