Pros

"cool" place to work; looks awesome in any CV; work with some of the best engineers in the world

Cons

be prepared to work more than you want, and still feel like you're not delivering enough! And don't worry, the company will be sure to tell you that you're not delivering enough, regardless if you just went through a mental breakdown because of a year-long burnout coupled with your chronic depression! And don't worry, they pay more than most companies in São Paulo, but they will expect you to be a international level engineer (pro tip: you can have a salary at least twice of what nubank pays if you work remotely for a foreign company)

Pros

Lots of exciting bets being made, many growth opportunities, very smart people who also know how to have work life balance

Cons

Priorities shift a lot which can be frustrating, but that's part of the game of fintech (very fast moving)

Pros

High level of competence of colleagues You're never the most experienced or highest skilled person in your team Constantly learning and career growing Freedom to explore new technologies Very data-oriented Very technical oriented managers Clojure shop Well-tested, well crafted, always improving code solutions

Cons

Executive level decisions sometimes are big-bang and not gradual Promotion strategy isn't based on performance but on the existence of an open role
