Pros
- still a fairly transparent company despite the aggressive growth - many small, disruptive products that are performing phenomenally, i.e. Capital - great food, benefits, etc.
Cons
- grew way too fast, making tangential acquisitions and not making substantial progress on our core product - still unable to shake the perception that we do more than the "little plastic credit card reader" - feels like working at a slow incumbent, with smaller and more agile competitors carving off pieces of our business they can focus completely on and do better - overinflated valuation ($6B+) that renders stock options of very questionable worth - frivolous spending on ridiculously fancy office space build-outs, expensive food, etc.; not what you want to see as an owner of the company - morale crushed every time a product is spun down, most recently Wallet and Order; not sustainable, and makes everyone question what executive guidance led us down these expensive forays in the first place
