Pros

Developing next generation products for Dynamics involves solving some of the most technically challenging problems I have encountered in my career due to the extremely limited space and power constraints that the credit card form factor presents. In the past year, the leadership team including the CEO has been focused on enabling the team to find creative solutions to the challenges we face and has taken a new approach which encourages more cross functional brainstorming and working sessions welcoming input from all participants.

Cons

You need to be able to keep up with the pace at this tech startup.

Pros

Good group of diverse professionals. Opportunity to learn and grow. Fast paced, evolving startup. Exciting consumer product. Rewarding experience if you apply yourself.

Cons

Not a perfect company, there aren't any. Not so good with communication and HR. At times focused, other times scattered. It's a startup so there is no manual to follow when your product is on the leading edge.

Pros

Continuous Improvement has Dynamics trending in a positive direction. The product solves issues with credit cards that are becoming more prevalent in today’s world. These issues potentially affect everyone. Resolution requires state of the art tech that challenges and encourages engineers to think out of the box. There are positive signs of growth and the tech is winning innovative based awards at consumer electronics shows. The lean company structure is typical of a startup, but it allows the individual employee to manage all facets of projects and it presents opportunity to expand experience and knowledge. As evidenced by a few previous reviews, being a part of something that has not been done before requires a certain amount of effort and time along with a willingness to accept some failures. This is typical of new technology where rules are not written; they have to be learned. The tech is not easy; if it was, then it would already exist. This company has improved over time and there are some pieces in place that are typical of established companies, but there is still work to be done. There are signs that indicate more positive growth and improvement will occur.

Cons

As with any startup, there can be periods during which extended hours are necessary. The product is not a normal consumer product that you buy at a store. Credit card offerings take time to develop not only the product, but the infrastructure and systems to make it all work within a secure environment. It can be frustrating at times developing a product that has to work world-wide while adhering to standards and equipment that can vary country to country or even store to store. There is pressure to perform as with any company. There are really talented people at the company; resource limitations typical at a startup exist, but are improving.
