Pros

The work at Figure is challenging and exciting, and we are building big things. I like that I'm entrusted with a lot of responsibility and that my work pushes me to grow and keeps me on my toes. I look forward to going to work every day -- both to dig into my work and to collaborate with my colleagues. A lot of very talented, kind and fun people work here. While we all work hard, it's also a lot of fun if you like building big things with other smart, driven people.

Cons

Figure has rigorous performance criteria. If an employee is underperforming or isn't the right fit for the company's pace, needs, etc, they probably won't last long at the company. That keeps Figure moving forward but also means some people don't leave happily.

Pros

- Well stocked kitchen. - Nice office. - Great for people that enjoy a top-down culture.

Cons

- Big brother mentality - transparency manifests as surveillance. Don’t you think it’s suspicious that the Glassdoor score is so high? - They don’t actually care about the people, they just use, abuse, then dispose. I know of several people getting physically ill from working here, and some were never able to make it back to work. They don’t treat employees like humans. - Toxic culture - just read the Away article on the Verge, a lot of the similar things are happening here, and the executive team just turns a blind eye on it. - Unlimited PTO = No PTO here. If you take PTO, it’ll be compensated through your bonus or through your chance of getting good projects. Also, they sell you the job by telling you the bonus is 25%, but the reality is closer to 10%.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are disappointed to read you haven't had a better experience. We take every review (good or bad) seriously and try to scale what is positive and address issues immediately. We use our employee surveys, which indicate a high degree of satisfaction and would recommend Figure as a great place to work, as a benchmark of how we're operating. If an employee feels we aren't holding ourselves to that high standard, we encourage them to talk with their Managers or People Operations to address concerns. Your feedback suggests we can do a better job communicating how our flexible PTO and quarterly bonus work, which we will prioritize during an upcoming All Hands meeting. We appreciate you sharing your feedback.
