Pros

Flexible working hours, good technical managers (they call the chapter leads), free in technical solutions, sometimes business tasks can be really impressive

Cons

Strong staff turnover; tech management don't trust to engineers and decide everything themselves, a lot of really good POCs go to garbage; no vision in product management decision; no feedback for done work; nobody in the company can say "no" to investors and employers are always involved in something meaningless; managements cannot set focus on something important and always remember about it just before deadlines; almost no interesting parties in the company; no financial motivations like bonuses; hiring of over-skilled engineers; tech stack is not modern and as a result no way to learn something new from daily tasks; because of chaotic managements, engineers might not have active tasks and need to generate job for themselves; communication between different teams are really terrible sometimes; no one has an expertise in some selected technologies; no architectures and basic development principles, every team do the same job in different way; really small kitchen and very bad coffee; very strange vision in Agile processes

Pros

* This company invests in you and is eager to try new things. Regardless of your position. If you have a great idea, its a gread idea. * Fast paced, you see new things every day, and your daily job is never really the same * The people you work with are very talented in every department, you can see that the recruitment is very good, just not in every department. * Open door to the Fintech world, which is the future. * Big office but you dont feel like a number. * Playful office, with a very relaxed atmosphere, yet focused on what needs to be done. * Working with very honest people that tell you when they make a mistake.

Cons

* Some of the things you are told at the job interview are not always followed-up * Not as many team events as you would wish * The tools you work with are not -always- a choice * Wage discussions dont seem to be appreciated
