Pros

Remote, average salary, interesting product, great engineering team

Cons

Too many to list, but the main issue is that it is essentially a white boys' club with no room for growth if you do not fit that stereotype. Lack of diversity, and lack of transparency when it comes to layoffs. The company has shed almost half its workforce in the past 2 years with continuous layoffs they keep on the low to avoid admitting they are incompetent and unable to be as profitable as they should. They claim great success on various social platforms but in reality, if they always need to shed people to make numbers look good it means they are not that successful. Leadership is truly blind and couldn't care less about the rest of the team. Roles are constantly changed, people are demoted, and a lot of the management is truly unable to manage people, so they micromanage instead.

Pros

Smart colleagues and remote work.

Cons

After three rounds of mass layoffs in a single year, everyone is completely demoralised and disorientated. It used to be a great place to work, but it has rapidly deteriorated in a very short period.

Pros

- Great team mates and a collaborative culture - An amazing place to be an Engineer and a great CTO - Top tier customers and interesting projects - Bleeding edge Payments tech (is anyone more advanced??) - Interesting cloud-native stack - Looks great on the resume

Cons

- Lack of career advancement - Only Engineering truly get treated well (2 tier culture, us and the rest) - Share options offered in lieu of salary review -> but many leavers have found they were swindled out of their options and received nothing. For some this amounts to 6 figures. I don't know how they sleep at night. - Exec team is not in alignment -> think Barclays Execs and you know the culture of blame, avoidance and face time - Product team are fractious and leadership team are mismanaged - Promotion path is very limited for junior folks and this leads to a lot of attrition after the first year or so as there is nowhere but out to go - Appalling People team leadership. Even for a Startup, this is a terrible thing. It goes beyond ignorance to knowing inaction and harming through draconian tactics including sexism (and lack of punishment for offenders), unequal pay and unjustified dismissal.
