Radically better than any other job I've had
Radically better than any other job I've had
- Surrounded by smart people working in a thoughtful, structured way towards solving difficult problems
- Everyone here is (both emotionally and financially...) invested in the success of the company
- Transparent, empathetic culture with a focus on mental health
- Data-driven culture
- I've been able to maintain a ~40h/week working life over the last 12 months (and have been encouraged to do so)
- Working on a product that you interact with day to day that many people have really positive views of
- Highly confident that the company has a bright future
-
A lot of technical debt (though there have been some meaningful attempts of late to give this more focus)
-
Company is getting bigger, starting to feel more stodgy and corporate
-
19% AER on lending products like Monzo Flex feels exploitative
We must maintain focus on tech debt.
