Pluspunten

Decent snacks. Startup where you can develop a variety of skills. Great location in downtown SF near embarcadero. Some smart people to learn from.

Minpunten

Layoffs were done in a very unprofessional manner. During a surprising all hands meeting, all employees were told to go to their desks to wait for a potential email telling them they were laid off. Everyone was a nervous wreck while watching their friends and coworkers pack up their things to leave. First thing the CPO says after the layoffs is that now it's much easier to fit in meeting rooms. Sexual harassment issues were left unaddressed for months. Product management that tells designers and engineers to build products with no direction. Culture that is driven by fear of the CPO and other executives. CEO that sells all his shares and then boasts to the media he is not taking a salary this year. This is a sinking ship you want no part of.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

None.All the good people are gone and with them good culture is gone too.

Minpunten

This company needs strict overhaul of executive management. There is toxicity almost in every department. 1. Let's talk about "actual business management" first: Not profitable, poor leadership skills to manage and grow the business. Sinking ship. if this happens in a public company CEO and CFO are fired immediately, but this is private company. They just do what they want. Company relies too much on risk management and believe me risk team does nothing but cutting anything they see. This is the worst risk management I have ever seen. This ties hands for other teams to do their jobs. Marketing team has no real leadership. 2. Culture: Culture is highly toxic. Blame each other, this directly comes from the top. Are you still looking for a 3rd point? imo, above points should be enough to make a Decision whether to join or stay with this company. If you are still for looking for more info, just see other reviews.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we respect your perspective, the "sinking ship" description does not reflect our current financial reality. Growth and Profitability: Prosper is in a strong financial position, having achieved record-breaking double-digit growth in 2025. The outlook for 2026 remains positive as we expand our products. Strategic Risk Management: Our Risk and Marketing teams operate with a data-driven approach designed for long-term stability. This strategy has been instrumental in maintaining our profitability and allowing us to scale while others in our industry faced challenges. Culture and Leadership: We hear your concerns regarding communication and the internal environment and specifically the perception of a culture of blame. While we do value accountability, we never want our success to come at the cost of our people. We conduct regular engagement surveys to identify areas where we may be falling short of our values and take actions to improve. We are proud of our 2025 achievements and remain dedicated to making Prosper a place where our business, our customers and our employees thrive.
