Monzo

Good salary Learning budget (I used it for local conference tickets and eng books) Motivated colleagues Engineering tools are kept up-to-date Business is doing well and on a sure track to achieve profitability next year Working on a known and loved product makes me feel good

Work in product squads is mostly copy-paste from existing things, with a few variations. The eng platform is very opinionated (and limited to a set of tools - only Golang as a language, only Cassandra - AWS Key Spaces as DB). It contributes to the feeling of being a conveyor line worker at the engineering features factory.

The work is fast-paced and there is a lot of it. I never work on weekends and really late into the evening. At the same time, every day is intense and every evening I am very tired. By the end of the week, I am usually exhausted.
