Avoid - Lots of Layoffs & Poor Morale

Pros

No need to check email at night or on weekends, fun & smart lower-level staff

Cons

They just laid off a bunch of people, so there's zero job security...plus the issues that led to this haven't been resolved. Mgmt hires smart people and says they have a feedback culture, then ignores their advice. Mgmt says it's data-driven but ignores or pushes back against data it doesn't like. Mgmt says it's transparent, but then refuses to openly address issues that staff could actually help solve. Mgmt says it likes bold ideas but actually only tinkers around the edges while the huge problems go repeatedly unaddressed. Plus, this is just a tough political environment for a company that makes loans to international students.

Pros

I don't think I can ever put into words how grateful or thankful I am for my experience at MPOWER: were it not for my experience there, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Cons

Attrition rate is around 25% or more during my time there.

Pros

Mission, super smart people. exciting to be a part of a startup! Work from home option.

Cons

Lack of transparency. Doesn't help with Covid going on either (weekly town halls help though) It's a startup, so there is a level of risk. You have to know what you're signing up for...for example, many people just got laid off. You won't have the security that you'll get from larger companies.
