Really well-run company
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: - Excellent leadership, thoughtful, transparent, and deliberate.
- Growing fast – lots of interesting challenges and plenty of untapped business opportunities.
- My manager is excellent; they care about supporting and leveling up everyone.
- People work hard, but the culture is one of "we're all on the same team"; no unnecessary pressure or breathing down necks.
- Really thoughtful expansion; the hiring bar remains high, with a big emphasis on supporting remote employees.
Cons: - Ruby
- Because we deal with people's money, any outside tech we use needs to go through a long security review process. Often, we end up building things ourselves that already exist as external products because it's easier than getting them approved.

Pros: * Work isn't really hard.
* Decent comp and benefits.
Cons: * Total lack of direction.
* Not uncommon for people to wonder and regret why they joined within six months.
* Encourages people that are more "visible." So be ready to be backstabbed by your team since everyone is afraid to be fired.
* Toxic positivity.
* Tech debt up the wazoo. Even simple things become near impossible.
