Pros

* Y Combinator alumni+ marquee investors = Success * One of the top recognised start-up in FinTech space worldwide * Diversity * Stocked up refrigerator * Brand Value * Full blown Dev Ops team, no manual deploys.

Cons

* Wrong choice of tech stack given how large their codebase has grown. * No one having the big picture of how to fix their tech problems * Subtle discrimination if you are not from IV League College like IITs * The previous point is ironic since the people actually handling their code base are mediocre engineers from mediocre colleges. Tech leadership has largely distanced themselves from the problems. Join if you are desperate in terms of salary growth. If you do, prepare yourself for excruciating code untangling sessions and learning bad practices and anti patterns.
