Pros

Plenty of room to take on opportunities if you’re proactive and willing to show initiative. Operates in a very interesting and relevant domain: software for banks. Currently riding the AI wave—both by integrating AI into its products and by experimenting with AI in internal ways of working.

Cons

Growing pains, especially around scaling and knowledge sharing. Pay is not particularly competitive compared to other players in the industry.

Pros

Flexible deadlines, almost absence of critical releases.

Cons

Processes is slow. Company vision is going much faster than team adoption to changes. Tons of legacy that is almost impossible to update because of LTS'ses and backward compatibility
