Smartest people I've ever worked with

Pros

- Team is incredible, the hiring bar is extremely high, so everyone I meet is extremely smart and driven. - Bold company vision and mission. Once you join and learn about the product roadmap, you realize it's much more than just a payments company. - Transparency culture. Everyone is open about the entire decision-making process, and communicates successes and failures across the company so we all have a realistic sense of how the company is performing. - Opportunity for impact is extremely high.

Cons

- Interview process (for software engineers at least) is quite different from most other similar companies, so we lose out on a lot of otherwise-great candidates that end up being unprepared.

Passionate co-workers who embody company values

Business Outlook

Pros

- The company is very welcoming and willing to accommodate you working odd hours if you need to - Unlike at larger companies, they don't just pay lip service to what they believe in. Instead it feels like every person you work with at the company is personally invested in the values. - You're given lots of autonomy. Important decisions like company wide goals, are decided by representatives from the entire company, then filter down to smaller tasks to achieve each quarter as decided by teams.

Cons

We're still struggling to grow from a baby company into a full-grown one, with everything that entails - HR processes and management structures are still developing in some areas, and we're still learning how to balance feature work with reliability. This means instability, which can sometimes mean intrusions on personal time for incident response.
