Pros

It is like living a dream. Young super charged team with very experienced senior management who have a great vision of disrupting and transforming the banking industry. And we seem to be on track to do so. It feels great being part of making this historical change. Everybody around is excited about the firm and our product. It is a Uber of the financial industry. Things happen in lightning speed, decisions are made quickly and the company is growing super fast. Co-workers are very nice to work with. Excellent culture - team players with no egos, including top management. Senior management is very close to staff. Perks are way above standard as well: free food and drinks, cafe with barista on site, free medical, free gym, 401k, happy hours... Perfect location - downtown San Francisco. New floors with a top high tech design.

Cons

Nothing, really. The only thing I can think of: it will be hard to find such a great job elsewhere if I ever decide to move on.

Pros

New office, new name, same great company. Good growth opportunity where you can see your impact.

Cons

Not a huge con, but better snacks or catered lunch would be a plus.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
