Vantaggi

The free food is good and they offer benefits for full-time employees. The office is the 1st floor of a brand new building for another company that occupies the upper four floors.

Svantaggi

Job Seekers for Sales, be warned the commission structure is not in your favor. They hold 65% of the commission per deal from you until the account managers "activate" your account. If the account manager fails to do so, you will lose the 65% of your commission that was withheld. You are placed in a catch 22 where management is continually demanding more new deals; however, they're also saying that if you don't want to lose your withheld commission, (due to the account manager in another department not doing their job), you should do the account managers' job for them, thereby earning the Account managers bonuses and you the other 65% of your commission, but this uses valuable time and you are unable to generate new deals. The Sales process is convoluted. You're required to cold call and bring a lead from open to closed/won and that's pretty standard. What is not known by most new hires is that Sales has an "On-boarding" phase where (even though you have closed a deal with signed contract in hand) are responsible for a number of things involving getting the account integrated into the company. It is completely after the Sales Process has ended and devours time to get new deals and earn money. Ultimately, the on-boarding criteria are so stringent it is borderline impossible to not have multiple closed/won deals cancelled each month due to hidden and uncontrollable circumstances. In summary, I warn anyone who is considering applying or in the interview process. This is not a job built around sales success. You will be shocked when, (if you decided to accept a job offer) everything I have written in this review is true and not at all what you expected or were told in the recruiting process. If you are a skilled Sales professional, continue looking elsewhere. This place is a wolf in Sheep's clothing.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

The company performed well in 2025, but we didn't see some benefits return until this year which has caused residual frustration Smaller teams offer less growth opportunity Some mid-level leaders manage up very well Pay is okay, but not competitive with larger tech companies
