Pros

Helpful team, average payment, supportive seniors in my team

Cons

1. The engineering culture is very biased and mediocre. Many SDEs are known professional or personal contacts and have negatively contributed to the company. 2. The CXOs are unaware of things happening on the ground, and this itself is one of the reasons for the hiring-firing culture.

Pros

Small and mighty team of smart colleagues. Environment is highly autonomous and culture is centered around impact vs performative nonsense. Leadership encourages independent decision making, pushes ownership to the front line and rewards those that demonstrate accountability and drive. Product is unique in the identity/fraud space and company is well-positioned for growth.

Cons

Nothing beyond the usual ambiguity of a smaller startup - if you need to be told what to do, this environment won’t be for you.

Pros

Ownership: employees have a lot of responsibility and the ability to have a big impact as the team is lean and there is clear alignment on company goals. Collaboration: people are low ego and there is good collaboration with teams working across India, SE Asia, and the U.S. Action-oriented: a lot of focus on driving results and minimizing the time spent on things that don't have an impact.

Cons

None that I can think of. Given the stage of the company, need to be comfortable being at a start-up.
