Pros
- One of the most competent and well-structured engineering orgs I’ve seen in 15+ years - Teams are pragmatic and highly skilled; collaboration and knowledge-sharing are part of the culture, not afterthoughts - Processes are clearly defined and generally helpful without being overly rigid - People are approachable, and it’s normal (and encouraged) to ask questions or request help — a refreshing cultural norm - Technical health is solid; legacy systems exist but are being actively addressed with consistent, visible progress - Business and technical alignment are strong, which creates a sense of stability and focus - The CEO is experienced in the fintech space and provides steady, thoughtful leadership at the company level
Cons
- Some teams are clearly understaffed, which limits bandwidth and slows velocity — though leadership tends to acknowledge this rather than push unrealistic goals - Legacy systems still create friction in some areas, and while progress is real, it’s still an ongoing cost
