Autonomy, But Job Security Concerns
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
July 4, 2024
Pros: Interesting problems, you get opportunities that are hard to get in other companies if you take the initiative for them. Juniors are given a lot of autonomy over their work.
Cons: cutting costs lately. There's a decent risk of getting fired if you're not meeting the increasingly high bar.
4.0
Good culture and people
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
March 24, 2020
Pros: All the usual tech company perks (breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee).
Reasonable hours for finance in general.
Good compensation, with a transparent performance-based bonus system.
Cons: Hours could still be better. 8-5:30 PM is pretty much the minimum expected for software devs, and it only gets worse.
Compared to some other tech firms my peers are working for, that's pretty bad.
Compared to other fintech firms my peers are working for, that's pretty good/on par.
