Pros

Good to be part of the development environment at Boring Money. Good communication between team members. Developer has a say in choosing the right tools / technology / third party service for given a task. Exposure to new technologies. With its challenges the process is professionally supported by other team members with more experience. Great product management, easy to understand and well documented Jira tickets. Designs available for all UI changes no need to wonder how a UI change should look. Never been asked to work overtime.

Cons

None that I can think of since I joined

Lack of ethics

Pros

The team bond in a special way. Partly as it is such a difficult working enviroment and partly as working for start-ups means coming together to create something new which at times can feel great. Plus you end up drinking together at the end of some very hard and emotional days. I sat with many team members crying and angry at the way they had been treated or the pressure of the work. The clients were also great to work with when you can and you get to really know financial services and meet some great people who are also doing breakthrough work. It helped me take the next steps in my career by meeting these clients.

Cons

After being at Boring Money for quite some time, working hard, helping shape the business and its growth I was treating in an unethical and disrespectful way in my final 6-9 months. Looking back there is only one person of importance at the company which is the CEO trying to build a business to then sell to make as much money as possible and no one or nothing else matters. I would go so far as to use the word narcissistic and over priviledged. There were many cases where people were ill or having personal issues and no empathy or support was handed to them. The workload was constantly a strain, the focus and strategy was constantly changing and poorly executed which made it hard to progress the business or careers. Very chaotic. Staff turnover was horribly high which lead to a lack of consistency and feeling of unease. The benefits are at a minimum showing that the business does not walk the talk as it trys to help people with finances but doesn't help its own employees. This and the high expectations of the staff workload have only what can be described as a greed mentality running through the core of the business.
