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.

Advice to Management

Be careful to preserve the culture and hiring bar as we grow.
