      Good software but in wrong leadership's hand

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - In the right industry and solving the right problem - Complicated software and not easily replacable - Good and helpful colleagues and passanate people - Smart and very techinical CEO - Above market compensation but not much considering the work-life balance

      Cons

      - Very poor worklife balance - Ruthlessness disguised in good intention. Actions and decisions are justified with best interest of employee but in fact are fully driven by profits and personal preference - Encourage openess and directness however negative feedbacks will have consequences - Micro-management

      Unique in many ways

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - An interesting job—almost unique in the world of web development and fintech. - Intelligent colleagues. - Constantly building new features and coding non-stop—something that’s becoming rare these days. - A nice office with free food and drinks.

      Cons

      - Harsh onboarding with no time to learn domain specifics. - Very fast-paced, often at the expense of quality and value (in my opinion). - Overworking is quite normal—make sure you can afford it (e.g., it may not align well with family life). - Speaking allegorically, there’s a large crocodile constantly chasing Near, snapping at its heels, forcing the company to run non-stop in an endless sprint. - In some teams, the tech stack is very limited, which may impact your market value.

      Incredibly cool work, but get ready to challenge yourself

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Excellent people, you'll be surrounded by some incredibly smart and capable people - Incredibly powerful software that has extraordinary power to change the game and make a real difference - Strong, caring leadership. This is clearly contentious as others have said the opposite, but IMO the CEO is an excellent leader - his personality can come across as strong but you can and absolutely should push back with good ideas. You get to be involved in big decisions. You're allowed to make mistakes. You're incentivized to grow and I think leadership genuinely cares about said growth, even if they come across in a strong way. It may be high "volume", but it's low ego. - Extremely flexible lifestyle. - "Anything is possible" mentality that actually comes to fruition. Honestly scary to see how much the team gets done.

      Cons

      - Much of the tech stack is pretty ancient and clunky - Extremely convoluted designs and software which can be extraordinarily difficult to comprehend (unless you wrote it). Very little care about testability, modularity, or readability. Documentation is also fairly lacking, and there are a lot of implicit assumptions so you need to be chasing people around to get good answers. - Never-ending influx of bugs - Priorities constantly change and whatever software development process you were following might as well be tossed in the garbage. - Heavy reliance on a select few "hero" coders that appear incredibly capable and smart but are in fact just the only ones that understand the mess they created
