Pros: This has huge market potential on both the merchant and consumer sides, with a long list of financial products and services that could be possible with the two-sided business model.

Nice environment, but lately losing talent

Pros: Very helpful people, open to full-remote work. The company has the right size to find interesting stuff to work on while not being a wear-all-hats startup.
Cons: Pay has decreased substantially with stock price. The company is trying to tighten its budget to appease shareholders, and that means more strict yearly reviewing. It's losing some talent to other companies.
