Pros: - Very strong leadership in terms of strategy and vision, communication/transparency, competency, and humility. Large decisions are well-thought through and communicated. This trickles down to managers too, which I’ve found to be very good at Brex. - It’s been very clear what’s expected of me. I spend most of my day doing writing code, reviewing PRs, and writing design docs. - Brex was among the first to announce a permanent remote-first approach during the pandemic. There are opportunities to work in office if you want it – either an actual Brex office if you’re located in a hub, or WeWork if not. We also hold fully paid remote team off-sites twice a year to allow for team bonding. - Monthly WFH stipend to spend on whatever enhances your WFH life. - Pick your split on salary/RSU distribution.

Cons: Tight timelines can be stressful. It has been more of a norm for me to work outside of 9-6 than an outlier, but I do this myself; no one’s chasing me to work late or on weekends. Given the recent initiatives, it’s understandable, but it’s not sustainable. Leadership has called this out as a problem to fix. Quite a few teammates at the company exhibit very obvious gender bias. This is not unique to tech, unfortunately, and I’m not sure if it’s specific to my team, but it’s a problem.

Pros: A lot of high-impact work is available. Smart and driven coworkers.

Cons: - Lots of competitors in the market

Pros: Excellent pay and benefits, relatively good work-life balance (depends on the team), and good executive staff. There are some very thoughtful, smart people on the engineering team, and everybody has been very welcoming so far. Even with the current macroeconomic climate, I'm optimistic about where Brex is headed.

Cons: As an employee, no huge downsides so far. As a company, communication with customers has struggled lately. However, that hasn't hugely impacted my personal experience.
