Mission + Ownership = Awesome place to work
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.
