Pros

Smart people trying to make a difference

Cons

My 12 months at NALA were defined by poor leadership, constant mismanagement, and a lack of vision or alignment across the company. Employees are treated as disposable, with little to no guidance, growth pathways, or ability to contribute meaningfully to the roles they were hired for. Turnover is extremely high, more than half of my colleagues were hired and fired within my short tenure. Many new hires quickly realized that HR had oversold the role, creating false expectations about what the day-to-day work actually entails. There is also a clear hierarchy of value placed on teams: engineering and data are prioritized, while other functions are neglected, despite their importance in making the overall business run effectively. The culture is toxic and exclusionary. Misogyny regularly surfaces in meetings, creating an environment where women, in particular, struggle to succeed. In short: this is not a company I would recommend for anyone looking for stability, growth, or a respectful workplace

Pros

- Fast-growing FinTech startup but not toxic like some well-known ones. Colleagues generally care for each other. - The pace means a lot of room for personal growth and always being pushed. - The tech is largely good and open to improvements and expansion. - Culture is good with a few fun traditions every week.

Cons

- Fast-growing startups are not for people who want an easy life. But also, everyone has their limit before they find greener pastures. There's continuous pressure top-down from one pressing feature with a tight deadline to the next.
