Pros

Benefits Nice new office Good location in downtown SF

Cons

The engeneering department is a mess. Upper management has no idea what they are doing. Engineers are basically making decisions on how the product should work because the product team doesnt do their job. It is encouraged for engineers not to write tests which creates a very fragile code base. Upper management imposes impossible deadlines.

Thank you for your review and comments. We experienced dramatic growth last year and are on track for more growth this year. This growth is exciting, but also has presented challenges in scaling and talent acquisition. I assure you that upper management has an "idea what they are doing." We are working to build world-class engineering and product teams that are right-sized to the tasks assigned them, and have the skills to handle shoring up existing systems, scaling for growth, and developing new products for the future. The pace at which we are working has been aggressive and it's definitely not for everyone. We are rewriting our entire platform and working to do it during a period of hyper growth. The engineering and product teams here have achieved great success recently and we appreciate and value immensely the work that they do. We’ve doubled the engineering team this year. We have many more to hire and big goals in terms of platform changes and new products.

Pros

I have truly enjoyed my time at Prosper. It is a company that offers genuine opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges within your role. I absolutely love my team, my manager, and find the work itself deeply fulfilling. One of the standouts for me is the leadership. Having come from a previous company where leadership was hesitant to make difficult choices, which led to multiple rounds of layoffs, I have a massive appreciation for how Prosper’s leadership operates. They are willing to make short-term, sometimes unpopular decisions because they prioritize the long-term safety and stability of all employees. It is a huge relief to work for a financially stable organization where I can see myself building a long-term career. Prosper is also one of the most diverse companies I have been a part of. From my perspective, the compensation is very competitive compared to other industry ranges I have seen, and the benefits offerings meet my needs.

Cons

While the leadership makes the right calls for long-term stability, the resulting tough decisions can sometimes be difficult to navigate in the moment, the transparency behind the decisions is super helpful.

Pros

Fast-paced environment, able to directly contribute to company goals Good people who genuinely believe in the mission We regularly hear customer testimonials detailing how we've had a positive impact on their lives Leadership is transparent about company performance Only 2 days a week in the office

Cons

The company performed well in 2025, but we didn't see some benefits return until this year which has caused residual frustration Smaller teams offer less growth opportunity Some mid-level leaders manage up very well Pay is okay, but not competitive with larger tech companies
