Pros

The CEO has a great vision, definitely differentiating against all the big financial companies in the USA. The talent in the organization is commendable.

Cons

The performance and talent management process has never changed, although the company went through a huge digital transformation. It became API-first, open-source, and cloud-native, with great in-house engineering talent.

Leadership at the VP and Sr. Director levels is really old-school and focused on just their growth. They preach one thing and practice entirely another.

Advice to Management

Reward results and not other things, which brew nothing but politics.
