Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: None that I can speak of.

Cons: The leadership of Marqeta is completely dysfunctional. The CEO, like most founder/CEOs, is not a competent leader as evidenced by high turnover within the senior leadership team and at the C suite level. CEO does not get along with the CTO. There is currently no leadership within the sales team and the COO is clueless. There is good reason that so many employees are resigning from Marqeta.
