Pros

Maybe work life balance but then again there is not much work happening here. Mostly a huge time waste

Cons

Too much internal politics for a company of this size, Management leaders don't know much and is busy in upward managing mostly, There is not much diversity - Almost everyone in leadership position is white caucasian. It's mostly an East coast company with east coast culture - Not a Fintech anymore. The business outlook is not great and has been shrinking with time.
