- 5.0Visionary Leader and Aligned CompanySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 3, 2021Pros: Imagine working at a company that knows where it needs to go, what it needs to accomplish, and how to get there, and has a market available. Brex excels at execution and is always continuously iterating on what didn't work.Cons: - Very competitive total compensation, but because of that, there is no 401k match, bonus, or other monetary benefits. - It's hard to balance work-life balance and company targets/expectations. - It's not easy to find tight/personal communities in the company. Most of the time, it ends up as transactional. Arguably, it's hard to do that in a remote setting.
