Pros

Solving some real challenges in the personal finance space, which is deeply engraved in our discussion as well.

Cons
  1. All things Scala. The platform tech stack is tied rigidly with Scala, hence using any other JVM language is also difficult.
  2. Coming from a startup culture, development here feels very slow.
  3. Work-life balance is bad due to the cross-timezone setup.
Advice to Management
  1. Focus on employee's development
