      Excessive hiring

      Interim engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good people to work with - Good people managers

      Cons

      Company is hiring too much. I would request people to not join Earnin as the new products are on the border line and may not work. There may be massive layoffs as there has been excessive hiring in the last quarter. There are people with no tasks. The company made the same mistake last time and is repeating because the leadership changed. The new CTO is responsible for this and is hiring internationally so I do not recommend joining earnin even if you the highest offer.

      Irrational leadership in a poor economy means hell for all

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Earnin was once a shining opportunity: nice coworkers, seems like a company that cares about its employees due to the heavy focus of culture during the interview) - Decent benefits, though they started to go down and be stringent, such as asking for employees to log official days off when we have unlimited

      Cons

      Where do I start... - Ram is a highly irrational CEO, one who commands with his feelings and not facts. He also changes his opinions every day, his message changes every all hands, and disrespect/disregard any advice given by experts on the teams. Even worse as he is on the ground dictating every product feature. You have to obey him to stay. Else you’re out the door, just like the basket of VPs and leaders who left this company. - Business has been tough before covid. I thought we had a chance to turn it around with the new products. However deadline slipped and nothing happened. - Everything is a black box and you won’t get the transparency promised to you. When you learn it will be too late. Evidenced by many poorly communicated firings and layoffs.

      Terrible company to work for

      Eng
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Some employees who worked there were mission-driven. Many of those employees are since gone

      Cons

      - No vision or strategy from inexperienced and overly inflated "executives" - Reactive leadership following the whims of the CEO with no backing and often research against his idea from UX or analytics - Team that is forced to implement bad idea gets blamed for its failure - no setups for success and goal posts that constantly move based on what leadership feels at the moment - Poor treatment of people with sexist attitudes - Company looks like it was going down before the pandemic, but this has expedited its downfall - Rampant politicking and profiling of employees - Recently more than 20% of the company was laid off, many of them women and African Americans
