Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I had two phone interviews prior to an on-site.
HR was slow and seemed busy; every time, I had to send the same message twice to get a response.
The on-site interview was a great experience.

Pros: - Team is incredible. The hiring bar is extremely high, so everyone I meet is extremely smart and driven.
- Bold company vision and mission. Once you join and learn about the product roadmap, you realize it's much more than just a payments company.
- Transparency culture. Everyone is open about the entire decision-making process and communicates successes and failures across the company, so we all have a realistic sense of how the company is performing.
- Opportunity for impact is extremely high.
Cons: The interview process, for software engineers at least, is quite different from most other similar companies, so we lose out on a lot of otherwise-great candidates that end up being unprepared.
