Pros

Just to let everyone know benefits are good but not that great as portrayed on glassdoor in other reviews

Cons

Upper management has been influenced by all these reviews going around about ex-CTO and had to take a step which they shouldn't have. All the reviews on glassdoor about ex-CTO and the folks he hired are written by older useless employees who did not had any role in what the new team was able to achieve. They (old employees) never tried to gel with the team and kept on complaining and writing these false review about culture and ethics. Just to give context I would explain the recent review written on glassdoor which says "Like 100 hour weeks with no upward mobility?". Yes there were some folks who worked long hours, but to achieve technological hurdle which Prosper was not able to achieve in last few years. There were multiple failed attempts for re-writing platform and whole teams were fired for being unsuccessful. But what we ("CTO Gang" according to old employees) were able to re-write 80%for public facing features and achieve success. None of the old employees had worked 80-100 hours per week. Whatever we did was for the love of our CTO, he was not a dictator. This has been a company where people talk more on glassdoor then in office. I would appeal to other employees to write your views so that these fake reviews are stopped.

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
