Pros

Free lunch once a month Limited micro management in this company Some good people Decent location

Cons

Middle Management thinks too highly of themselves and act like children openly in the office environment. Some have serious anger issues; some just are very rude too others. Sense of entitlement is very strong and impedes professionalism. Executives turn a blind eye to childish behavior and they justify the office dysfunction. Kitchen was not even stocked with basic things like napkins and cups. I am pretty sure this is silicon valley.

Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, it's always valuable for us to receive the candid feedback. As a former teammate, you were familiar with the senior leadership structure and the openness and transparency that we strive to foster. In this case, it'd have been helpful to have gotten this feedback earlier, so that we could address the behavior you mention. That's certainly not the norm and inconsistent with the environment that we work hard to promote, of consideration and support for our teammates. We certainly are not perfect, but we are committed to the highest level of respect and professionalism and regret we did not have an opportunity to address your concerns earlier.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
