Pros

I like 4 thinks about working at Earnin 1) The mission to build a better financial system is real. Product teams focus on customer value first, taking the long view that what is best for the customer is best for the business. 2) Teams have autonomy to set product/project directions. We run in-depth quarterly planning process to evaluate customer/business data, and then teams have autonomy to select the highest impact projects to tackle. This creates a culture of ownership (and is exciting!). 3) Earnin is a flexible work culture, especially for people who commute/have families. I do my best focused work at home, and at Earnin I can do this as often as needed. 4) There are great growth/development opportunities -- just raise your hand. Finally, equity/compensation + perks are solid (Caltrain Gopass, good/healthy snacks, >weekly company lunches, dinner if you work after 7pm, etc).

Cons

My only complaint is the onboarding process. While everyone was quite helpful/open to answering questions, I felt silly asking many basic questions that could have been documented. This would help new employees feel more welcomed + get up to speed more quickly.

Pros

Benefits are 4/5! Just the standard in tech but not exceptional. Great and talented people working mid-level and entry-level roles at the company.

Cons

Top leaders tend to be highly political and biased. The organizational structure is strongly rooted in connections and often feels like a family business, if you’re not “family,” you’re disposable. Promotions are slow, and there is a lack of transparency around career growth, which has led to the loss of strong talent. !! Customers do not come first.
