Pros

Good vision. CEO is focused and driven by values. Creative people on Product team.

Cons

Engineering Management changed from mid-2019. It is very political with a inner lobby formed by set employees coming from same organization. This lobby try to side line existing management. So majority of earlier management employees left. Varo used to have good engineering startup culture.
