Pros

+ decent salary (outside USA, west Europe) + bright people + nice approach to technology

Cons

- there is a lot of tech debt - it is no strict tech debt - a lot of pressure, unreal deadlines etc. - there is a big problem with getting raise - bright, but not so communicative people - unless you are a white male russian with thick skin and no strings then better avoid :)

Pros

A very strong culture of problem solving; breaking down issues in to manageable chunks and to then drive improvement. Generally people are inspiring, positive people to work with (aside from senior management) Generally good compensation (and good holiday allowances - although being disturbed while in holiday wasn't uncommon) Office is the nicest I've worked in (however the 'perk' of Deliveroo at 7pm more sets the expectation that you should be working until then each night - regardless of start time).

Cons

The focus on KPIs is relentless and can lead to frustrating results. Half the quarter is spent debating how the KPI should be calculated; remaining half of the quarter focussed on achieving it. Next quarter a new KPI becomes the focus after an 'ask' from senior management and everyone now goes after chasing that - previous KPIs are then forgotten about. Such short term focus (and then how people are judged performance wise) means people are only focussed on getting through each quarter rather than thinking long term on what is best for the company. A common motivation technique at senior management is to use 80% stick, 20% carrot. Everything is terrible, rubbish, needs work - when teams feel at rock bottom the carrot is used: 'oh actually you're doing well in challenging circumstances.' Repeat cycle.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your recognition of our strong problem-solving culture and the inspiring colleagues you've encountered. Your feedback regarding compensation, holiday allowances, and office environment is valuable to us. Regarding your concerns, we understand that the focus on KPIs can be demanding. We’ve accomplished a great deal in a short span of time, and this ambitious and dynamic environment can be challenging at times. We strongly believe that establishing clear performance expectations helps us all focus on shared objectives and provide targeted support where needed. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are discussed and mutually agreed upon by line managers and employees to ensure alignment. When determining goals, we’re guided by our core values: Never Settle, Get it Done, and Deliver WOW. It’s because of our commitment to these values over the past eight years that we can proudly call ourselves a global financial superapp today. We appreciate all that you've done, and we wish you well in your next role. Wishing you the best.

Worst experience ever

Pros

They paid well and allowed full remote job

Cons

This was a terrible experience. It was the most toxic workplace I have ever encountered. There were two ways to get promoted there: either work 12 hours a day or engage in toxic behavior towards others to achieve results. This meant dealing with people who were willing to do anything necessary to get ahead. The stakeholders were not only demanding but also failed to provide any constructive feedback, making it impossible to improve. I didn't receive proper onboarding or guidance when I joined. There was an expectation to work more than 8 hours a day, even though it is illegal in Poland to not be compensated for overtime. From a technical perspective, the environment was incredibly poor. The systems were slow and dysfunctional, making it impossible for them to work properly. The company seemed focused solely on cutting costs and maximizing profits, without any concern for the well-being of their employees or the satisfaction of their customers.
