Pros

nothing? Fine... Perhaps the fake impression that they are a cool company. And... Getting current employees to leave good reviews of the firm and make everything look rosy.

Cons

- Terribly rude CEO and management. - Shady and high risk business decisions made. If you are interviewing for compliance role, it is best you walk away now. The turnover for compliance team is crazy and if you are smart enough, you will know why. - Stop managing people by fear. Stop making people feel stupid by screaming at them and treating them like slaves. Then again, if you are white, probably life won't be as bad. - Stop hiring a bunch of no experience and knows nothing about fintech strategy people to determine the future of the company. What is the point of hiring someone with consulting background with no relevant experience. - if you are reading this as a interview candidate, my one and only suggestion to you is Don't Join. There's just too many cons.. don't look at the 5 star reviews cause they are Mostly fake. Look at the 1 or 2 stars. Sincere advice and for your own good.

Pros

Love the incredibly fast pace and the massive growth -- very few companies are scaling at 80% YoY at a scale of >$1bn ARR, The leadership team and technical talent are brilliant.

Cons

Here in San Francisco, the company's still very much in a Series A stage-- that can be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective. You just have to be willing to be scrapping and work hard.

Pros

High autonomy and agency. As a senior IC I have leadership's trust in driving my work, engaging with partner executives and generating new ideas and partnerships. Clear line of sight into how my work positively impacts the company. I can draw the line between my effort and that enabling a small or large part of our success. Diverse product and partner work. I work with large and small partners and across our entire product offering, which keeps my day to day fresh and diverse. Great people, all hard working, smart and well credentialed.

Cons

Global team makes for frequent night time calls, if something can't be handled over Slack. Hard driving. There's lots to do and big ambitions, so everyone is spread thin working on high priority/impact projects.
