Pros

- We've got a bunch of talented young folks - Pay's decent - Interviews are a cakewalk, ask random easy or tough question - Code however you want, no one's peeking because, let's be real, not everyone here's a coding pro, actually no one - The company's kind of a wild mix, run by a bunch of young kids, some young in age and others just going with the flow.

Cons

So, at Finbox, - leadership is kind of joke - We're all about service-based products - The whole managerial scene is a bit chaotic So, after bagging some funding, the founders thought, "Let's bring in these pricey developers and PMs from top-notch colleges – problem solved!" But here's the deal: developers are stuck integrating APIs round the clock, and PMs are on our backs every 15 minutes. Micromanagement is like the holy grail here – the only way and the right way to get job done. If you join Finbox, be ready for endless API integration without much actual coding. Most of the leaders and senior developers have left, so they are hiring again desperately. Most importantly, if you're an intern, forget the full-time offer, cause they are hiring you keeping in mind that they will fire you once their job is done. And there is nothing as work life, the founder expects you to be stupid and code everything like a college student( cause it's fast) and do it for 14 hours every day ( weekends included).

Pros

1. Fancy Office 2. TT table 3. Can boost to friends and family that one gets to work with "IITians"

Cons

1. It's a company with absolutely no competitive advantage 2. The tech team has very high churn with no talented engineers who understand the mechanics of writing resilient and bug-free software 3. Terrible state of the codebase with loads of technical debt 4. It has a very weak business model and the finance/lending skill of the team is poor 5. They have often fooled their customers about the credit rating assigned to the users asking for credit. One parameter was hard-coded and when one client pointed out that it gave the same value for every user, they introduced the random.random() function to give a different value each time. I would recommend their client to actually check the credit ratings they provide and whether it will be profitable to them to use these ratings. 6. The market they are in is a super crowded market and they have absolutely no incentive to provide accurate credit ratings since they are paid on the basis of how many ratings they provide and not on whether their client can lend and collect effectively using that rating. It has a classic incentive problem. One way to fix this would be that the client forces the company to accept payment only if the client is able to successfully collect on the loan which they issued using the finbox provided credit rating.
