Pros
Indeed, the pros are there - the salary level is above the market rate, back when I was employed they aimed at upper percentiles of the market, which was nice. The free lunch is something of a added bonus. Also some yearly hobby grants could be addressed here. To put it mildly, you wouldn't be financially stressed working at Bondora, but that will be the one thing that you wouldn't be stressed, in total.
Cons
This has been addressed in many other reviews here in Glassdoor - but the management is overly micromanaging, you could expect C-suite giving individual contributors straight up tasks, the previous HR was running a military styled bootcamp and was having a powertrip of some sorts. Amongst themselves (c-suite) they can't stick to one change to carry out for a period of time, but constantly changing scopes/ideas/internal processes, etc. Within a the span of the year development organisation went from utilising Spotify's development team setup, to modified agile, to some Bondoras version of agile, to cross functional teams, and in the meantime put engineers who didn't understand the sub-par explanations to PIP. CEO himself is kinda all-over-the-place and acts like the company is his to do whatever he wants - not saying it would be the case, but when acting with investors money, it's not the best. People from across the company were going on sick leaves due to burnout, yes you could say that this is what high paced, high pressure environments do - but there is no psychological safety in this company. It is quite clear from how the marketing dept. and HR dept. have run empty of people, other teams are following the same steps.
