Pros

- Stocked fridge - Comfortable office space - Decent salary

Cons

- Does not recognize hard work and tends to favor the ones that speak the "loudest" despite having different outputs and results. (Expect to receive no bonuses or comp changes and stay in your current position for years) - Failure in radical candor - Absent leadership - Company culture needs to be re-evaluated (can often times feel cliquey) - Minimal professional development and growth

Pros

Float is a true hyper-growth fintech startup, so there’s a lot of energy and momentum across the company. Engineers get exposed to challenging technical problems at scale, and there’s a strong focus on building modern, cutting-edge systems. The pace is fast, but that also means you learn quickly and take on meaningful ownership. It has a great environment to solve difficult engineering problems, working closely with product and design, and seeing your work directly impact customers. There’s also a strong startup culture where people are encouraged to experiment, move quickly, and continuously improve.

Cons

Priorities can evolve quickly as the company scales.
