Pros

- engineering - I had the privilege to work with many talented tech people across many teams. Unfortunately, this talent is not valued, not in terms of compensation, nor in appreciation. - interesting challenges in fintech space - all the pros that made this company great are gone

Cons

- leadership is disjoined from reality - CTO is invisible and technical leadership was visible for years - leadership cracking up jokes right before laying off 100 people - tells you everything you need to know how much care and empathy there is - constant unrealistic deadlines that end up being postponed anyway, but a tremendous amount of overhead "managing" all those deadlines - neverending and ever-increasing bureaucracy - 0 trust in leadership. You can feel this by talking to regular employees

Pros

Seriously some of the smartest and nicest people I have ever had the opportunity to work with. Great culture and the technology is the real deal so it's nice to be able to position solutions to clients you know you can deliver.

Cons

UK headquartered company that is still growing in the US. Target market is large banks who can be slow to move

Pros

Colleagues are incredibly intelligent and motivated, but their efforts are consistently undermined by a lack of support from management.

Cons

Recent layoffs were handled poorly, with no regard for the individuals affected. I was laid off and my manager never even spoke to me to say goodbye. In fact, management doesn't inform anyone when someone is let go, so you usually only find out when someone's account is deactivated. The CEO appears out of their depth and lacks a clear vision for the company. This created an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear. While the work itself was engaging, the toxic culture ultimately outweighs any positives.
