Pros

Great team that works together for a common mission of making sure nobody overpays on their mortgage. We are able to educate and empower the typical homebuyer to shop their mortgage options and take advantage of an incredible lender network. Our VP of Sales works very hard to onboard lenders throughout the US to make sure we are best priced and able to deliver on our mission. The whole team is always focused on improving their efficiency and helping more clients.

Cons

Real estate market is challenging with the current rising rate environment and a shortage of inventory in the market. But it allows you to get creative and adapt to sharpen your skills.

Thank you for your review and the 4/5 rating for Own Up. We're pleased to hear that you found strong leadership in our CTO and had opportunities for learning and growth during your time as a Software Engineer here. We acknowledge your comment about layoffs and understand your perspective on the challenges Own Up faced resulting from the covid pandemic. Like many companies in the mortgage industry, we had to make some tough decisions, including reductions in force, the last of which occurred in 2023. We recognize that layoffs can seem opaque from an employee's viewpoint due to the sensitive nature of the process. Regarding your feedback on simultaneous firing/hiring, we would need more context to address this specific point. We invite you to reach out to us at peopleops@ownup.com if you would like to discuss this further.
