> Their corporate culture is very toxic and I don't see them sticking around long term.

I think they changed CEO recently, no? It seems like the ex-CEO, one of the founder, wasn't "a good cultural fit" after all. They had a round of layoffs a few years ago where some activist employees were weeded out, seems like it didn't work.



It's actually sort of the opposite of that.

They fired 2 activists who were poor performers but not even the people leading the activism. The press made an enormous, outsized fuss over it. A bunch of non-activists left the company half out of disgust and half out of strong encouragement from their peers.

The company's culture is "very toxic" because 80% of the people there are moralizing to all of their peers instead of doing work.


Weird context for moralizing to happen at a company whose model is encouraging people to make interest-free unsecured loans to people who aren't obligated to deliver a thing for them.
