Pros

- Great benefits (during COVID they increased their mental health services benefit, provided WFH stipend) - A lot growth opportunities - Good company culture for a fin-tech - Your day is flexible to work whatever you want as long as KPI's are met

Cons

- A lot of changes to the team, processes and offerings that you have to pivot to last minute - Pay is competitive-ish but no commission - Expected to take on stretch projects if you are looking for a promotion - Broken processes with cross-functional communication that delays your client-facing responsibilities
