Pros

Some very interesting and competent coworkers

Cons

The company started as a potential unicorn but turned out to be a disappointment. An early pivot from payments costed the company a lot of talent. So far management has been unable to deliver. The company was founded in 2021 and has already done 2 rounds of layoffs.

Pros

The energy here is incredible, people are incredibly smart and truly inspiring, and it’s pushed me to do my best work. I’ve learned more here in a few months than anywhere else. Incredibly talented team - everyone is so driven and genuinely kind. Culture is high-ownership and high-trust: you're given real responsibility early and trusted to run with it. There's also a clear sense of purpose behind what we ship- we move fast but build thoughtfully. If you're looking for meaningful growth, strong mentorship, and a team building something exciting with real momentum, this is truly a special place to be.

Cons

None - a great place for those who want to grow and have ownership

Pros

- I've learned more here in the first few months than I did in my whole tenure at my last role! - The people are great. Everyone wants to tackle hard problems and get the job done well. Everyone is also super kind and great to work with! - Engineering excellence is a non-negotiable - The team emphasizes design in a world of boring fintech products which clearly scores wins with current & potential customers - Massive opportunity for career growth as the company scales

Cons

no cons to speak of at this time. A very exciting time to be working at this company
