A scale-up with the soul of a startup
- Great culture.
- Relatable mission.
- Lots of autonomy (both a pro and a con).
- Better life/work balance than most fintechs.
Autonomous teams and a mostly flat organization mean your opportunities to grow are limited. If you're looking for a career ladder you can climb, you're looking in the wrong place.
Also, coordinating between teams can be difficult because there's little leadership to steer teams in the same direction. The end result is that most decisions are reactive. Something that could have been sorted months before will only see proper action when it becomes a minor crisis.
