Pros

Decent work-life balance. Full remote. Mission to help sellers and consumers is exciting.

Cons

Technology in fintech is not that interesting. Growth is stagnating; vision is not bold. Stock is perpetually stuck in a certain level, so you won't get rich here. Tech management is pretty bad and getting worse, with inexperienced managers everywhere and performance management souring the creative culture.
