Pros: Good company culture, and I enjoyed working with all of the talented engineers!

Cons: Plaid has more than doubled in size since the beginning of Covid, with many organizational shifts to keep up with the growth.

Pros: - The company seems to really care about the sustainability of the company. - Unlike a lot of other Silicon Valley startups, the company is keeping a close eye on revenue growth, costs, and long-term sustainability. - It could be a pro or con depending on who you are, but the founders are extremely internally focused and very involved in the day-to-day. - An experienced but really approachable engineering team. - Engineering problems are really unique and challenging.

Cons: - Not very well known, probably due to the founders being mostly internally focused - Fairly quiet and secretive externally - People mispronounce our name all the time

Pros: The people are the best part. They are really smart and ambitious, yet humble, low ego, and generous with their time. The culture is really welcoming, with lots of activities like book club, yoga, meditation, pairings, and hackathons, making it really easy to build good friendships at work. Also, it is really motivating to enable our clients to build great businesses. Engineers get to interact a lot with members of growth, support, and sales, and it is helpful to understand how our work impacts our clients.

Cons: Not many. The nature of the work can mean that you sometimes have to be responsive after hours. But we have some good processes so this doesn't happen often.
