Pros

Lots of room to apply your skills, learnings and professional growth. People are open to ideas Leadership is very transparent, is always listening and is working really hard for the mission as well as making the company successful

Cons

Like any other hyper growth start up there's a ton of technical debt. If you are glass half full person you'll see this as a huge opportunity to build something great. A majority of us who joined in 2019 see it this way.

Pros

1. Mission driven - Great mission. Genuine passion across the organization to help the under-served. It feels great to work for a company that truly prioritizes helping people. 2. Transparent culture - Leadership team shares company financials with the team every month. We know exactly where the company stands. Leadership recently started to present board deck to the team. It is awesome to be treated as owners! 3. Strong product market fit - Ability to access money you have earned in advance and only pay what you feel is fair, including $0. For those who need services like this, this is holy grail. Very high NPS (net promoter score) and solid user retention. 4. Great career opportunities - There are tons of interesting challenges for the engineers to learn and grow. People are promoted based on performance. If you do an exceptional job, they will not wait to promote you. I know someone got 3 promotions in 2 years. This is insane, in a good way!

Cons

1. Rough product experience - There are quite some rough edges in the complicated product experience. It hurts to see many people want to use the app but are unable to do so due to product issues. Encouraged to see the leadership team put a lot more focus on improving product experience recently. 2. Technical debt - The team is moving to micro services, but there is still quite some technical debt in the legacy systems. 3. The handling of layoff in March could have been better - The team used to be very tight-knit, felt like a family before COVID. Many of us got caught off guard when the layoff came. This led to a good number of negative reviews on Glassdoor in the last few months. Not sure what is the best way to handle it, but given the unique culture of the company, the leadership team could have at least given people some heads-up.

Pros

Earnin is a company driven by its mission, dedicated to its community, and getting better together everyday. Our company is not perfect by any means, but I can see our leadership team taking strides in the right direction everyday. Our culture has been shaken by COVID-19, but our CEO is fighting tooth and nail to do right by our teams and provide us with a better more stable company in the long run. Compensation/Benefits are also at or above industry standards in my opinion.

Cons

-Junior Management: sometimes they need to lean on the assistance of HR or other leaders to help them navigate seemingly less complex situations. -Product Design- needs some work to keep up with a competitive and ever changing market. We need to spend more time revamping the look, ease, and overall product suite that we offer so that we stay competitive. -Leadership team sometimes takes a little too long to come to a consensus on key issues that affect our company, which sometimes has a negative impact on morale or our community members. I think they mean well, but sometimes the execution is a bit flawed
