Pros

- Ping pong table/PS4 - Shallow perks that try and promote a tech-bro fintech feel - Decent diversity initiatives - Quality tech solution that helps small businesses

Cons

- Pay structure designed to underpay younger workers leading to job churn and poor retention - Lack of transparency around pay leading to people getting paid a considerable amount less for the same work compared to other team members. - Complex and poorly thought-out internal processes that result in work not getting done, a lack of general accountability, and a demoralised and toxic team culture - Company thinks of itself as an agile start-up but in reality its bloated processes mean it will take months to get anything done (if at all) - Highly siloed and segmented culture that results in departments rarely interacting - Tech-heavy executive team who don't value or appreciate the role of other departments (like marketing). - A culture of 'quantity over quality' that will sacrifice high quality work for AI-generated nonsense as long as it ranks on Google. - Poor parental leave and P&C policies in general. If you want a fintech without any benefits, work here!

Pros

Work flexibility is not just another bullet point in their job descriptions. They follow it in spirit. Plenty of options (except the non-negotiable in-person days) as long as your manager approves them. It's been a long time for me here now - far beyond the initial honeymoon period - and I still genuinely like the culture and people.

Cons

Used to be two days per week in-person; changing to three days soon - not a fan of that part at all. Also, project priorities keep changing frequently with strict (but seemingly arbitrary) timelines. You're good though, if you can keep up with that.
