Pros

Good teammates. Payroll on time. Professional branding.

Cons

If you like the aesthetic of “open culture” posters and the thrill of not knowing if you’ll still have a job on Monday, this place is a vibe. From the outside it looks polished and people-first. Inside, it’s an outdated banking stack packaged as innovation and a company-wide obsession with Agile trainings that seemed to soak up budget while heads quietly rolled. My exit says enough: Thursday invite to a small call, Friday signatures and laptop returned, unemployed by Monday. Reason given: top-down department cuts. It wasn’t just me, 30+ people across teams left in the same window. Day to day, stress flowed downward while raises and growth moved slowly. “Openness” was more presentation than practice, lots of ceremonies; outcomes didn’t change. Colleagues were solid, the system around them wasn’t.

Pros

If you’re lucky, you’ll work with genuinely good colleagues who try to make the best out of a difficult environment.

Cons

Working at Quipu often feels like being part of a well-rehearsed performance rather than an actual functioning organization. Leadership seems very confident, especially during town halls, where everything sounds impressive on paper and in carefully presented statistics that don’t quite match day-to-day reality. There’s a strong focus on presenting success rather than addressing problems. Communication is inconsistent, priorities shift frequently, and decisions rarely come with clear reasoning. Transparency is more of a buzzword than a practice. Growth opportunities are limited, salaries lag behind the market, and employee feedback doesn’t appear to influence much. The gap between what is said and what is experienced is hard to ignore after a while.
