Business outlook
Pros
At IC level the culture is great, people are fundamentally kind and diligent. The benefits are decent, and its fully remote.
Cons
Salary - For a public company Marqeta pay below market, and the price of shares only gets dragged above $5 after a stock buyback. Lack of direction - operating in ambiguity is a given in these roles, but operating with no goals, no structure, and no manager just leads to wasting resources and time The usual public company issues - silo'd information, bloated processes Unique issues - to even provide pricing to a potential customer requires a review process from multiple internal teams
