Pros
- Excellent work-life balance. - Great diversity within the data team and wider company (though the tech team could improve in this regard). - Great leadership and Exec team. - Good in-office wellbeing perks (pool table, office massages etc.). - Friendly, smart, and approachable colleagues. - Excellent opportunity to work in cross-functional teams (working with backend, product, etc.).
Cons
- The Analytics Engineer role didn’t meet typical expectations. The work was often repetitive, primarily focused on adding simple data points with basic analytical tasks. This likely stemmed from the lack of a dedicated Data Analyst, as well as the fact that many end users were not very data literate, which kept the projects simple. Combined with the relaxed pace of the data team, there was little urgency to drive more complex or impactful data outcomes, leading to an unengaging and repetitive role. - Company benefits could be more competitive. There’s room for improvement here. - As others have stated, in office offering could be much better (small 1080p monitors, only a small fruit box for the entire company with no other snacks etc.). - The new office is great, but the team size is much smaller than the space's capacity. With half the business on one side of the office and the other half on the other, it can make collaboration with other departments harder and the environment feel somewhat isolating. - Compensation seems to be below average, especially for a fintech company.
