Meaningful work, but a slow process
Tech Lead • Current Employee
November 18, 2017
Pros: You get to work on meaningful projects that actually help people in the world.
For example, helping people gain access to money (for people who can't open a bank account) or allowing people to easily transfer money, etc.
Cons: Developers' infrastructure is not so good. The staging environment is unreliable, CI servers are failing frequently, and setting up stages is complicated.
Development is slow due to unstable infrastructure and the fact that many people are working on the same project.
