Pros: The position offers a competitive salary and remote work options.

Cons: Incompetent management and org issues lead to infinite loop of problems. No regards to technical debt leaves engineers struggling with issues and waste company money on everyday basis. Culture and values are just buzzwords for Monzo. Don’t be fooled by funny memes posted on social networks. Company tells you a lot of stories about caring, but their deeds don’t prove it. Just a small example: caring about mental health. In fact, nobody ever asks how do employees feel on their workplace. Not everyone will go seek for help. They even started pre-moderating leavers channel, where people posted some farewells, and plenty of recent ones were quite bitter. My manager can be replaced by a talking parrot. Doing bare minimum and not giving a f thing about fixing/improving things. Literally reading script lines and following them like a robot, while every simple question will puzzle them. Recent progression framework changes to have like 100 levels will make sure your lack of promotion will be justified by going from level 43 to 45 lol.

Pros: The Platform team have put a lot of effort into making every engineer's life really easy. There is free lunch from street food vendors twice a week. There are meeting-free Fridays, and time every month to work on a side project.

Cons: Go isn't Rust. I miss enums.

Pros: There is great developer tooling and lots of smart employees.

Cons: Poor compensation and progression, and the transition of CEOs looks like it will make this worse. Beware that it's very likely that you're not going to see any pay increases unless you're in the top percentile in your band, and even then meeting the progression framework is no guarantee. Avoid if you expect career progression.
