Pros
People genuinely care about what they do and you can feel good about the work you're doing.
Cons
The organization moves fairly slowly for relatively a small internet company, which can be extremely frustrating. Also, the company was recently acquired by Sallie Mae. Sallie Mae is cutting costs dramatically and the effects are being felt at Upromise in terms of eroding health and vacation benefits. These factors couple together to create a culture of negativity.
