Pros

- Competitive compensation - Max is great - Growth outlook very bright as our core product continues to win major clients and grow exponentially - Many employees genuinely motivated by mission and being customer-focused: we've made decisions that cost us in the short term in order to do right by our customers and position us for long term success - Opportunity to work cross-functionally, valuable if fintech interests you from a capital markets / product / legal perspective - Collaborative, open culture with talented, motivated team - Actual emphasis on improving recruiting from nontraditional backgrounds and making everyone at the company feel included and welcome

Cons

- This is partially due to the complexity of fintech, from a regulatory perspective and otherwise, but the pace of product development has been somewhat slow. I'm excited to move beyond point of sale lending and expand our relationship with our customers - Can be stressful, and there are periods of having to put in long hours
