Pros
Very young forward thinking company and very much into technology. Also the perks and casual dress code is the best.
Cons
Sometimes even with all of the flexibility, certain departments seem to be cliquish and not as involved as it should to help in getting projects done effectively.

Pros
Enova is a great place to work with awesome opportunities and and an emphasis on growing and developing employees. It's a young and hungry culture, filled with ambitious & intelligent go-getters. Most of the people I work with are dedicated and really want to see themselves and the company succeed. Enova also allows people to work in small, focused teams which helps dispel the feeling of a big, bureaucratic company. Regarding the culture, everyone I've come across here is extremely friendly and willing to help out. The meritocracy is evident through Enova's values, which most agree are actually manifested every day. You're encouraged to speak up about your thoughts and opinions, and your ideas are heard by management. There's several programs in place to assist employee development, like the "enovation tank," and other cool learning opportunities. Flexible hours are encouraged; some people regularly get into to work around 10/10:30, which is a very nice perk. Moving around is also available, if you're unhappy in your current role or want a new experience. Several individuals started out doing something different than their current role. Unlike some other companies I've worked for in the past, management leads by example. They push you very hard, but they want to you learn and grow, so it's worth it. They place a ton value on emotional intelligence/communication skills, so it's not just hard numbers when it comes to your performance. Management is very transparent, and is always there if you have a question or need help. Compensation is also very competitive, and you're definitely rewarded for hard work. In my experience, it's not as difficult to make your voice heard here, as it is for other companies. Free lunches, happy hours, a stocked kitchen/fridge, and other perks are all great additions to the benefit repertoire. Finally, I'd like to address the negative call center reviews on here (which I feel are completely unwarranted). I'd like to point out that the work environment, total compensation, and experience is much, much better that most call centers you'd find elsewhere.
Cons
While the benefits are great, they tend to be exaggerated. Free breakfast on Monday (enormous line out the door, not enough for everyone), massages (only if you sign up in the first minute, otherwise they're full), and the PTO is pretty weak, among other things. I also felt a lack of understating of certain processes/tools inhibited my ability to perform well. An example would be SQL databases, which are used a lot, and are critical to your work. A lot of what you're going to be doing is self-taught, which takes time away from you other work. Depending on what team you're on, it can be difficult to move up. Under staffing on critical teams can cause projects to get delayed. Seems like management is fixing this problem, but for a huge company it always feels so resource constrained. I think one of the biggest problems that people have at Enova is that you can have an entirely different experience here that someone who sits across from you who's on a different brand/P&L. While there are similarities between teams and people generally feel a certain level of cohesiveness at the company, there's enough variance where one P&L/team can feel like an entirely different company than another.
