Pros

Worst leadership I have ever encountered. When employee surveys are poor enough to warrant mandatory HR interventions, the appropriate response is usually self-reflection from management, not asking employees to become more resilient while continuing to work around the same structural issues. Free coffee doesn't fix that. There are good people here doing their best under difficult circumstances. The frustration comes from watching talented teams repeatedly asked to perform miracles without the resources, authority, or support necessary to succeed. At some point, one has to stop blaming the crew and start looking at the captain and "deputy captain"

Cons

Until leadership is willing to take an honest look at its own role in employee dissatisfaction, I suspect turnover and morale issues will continue. I would caution anyone considering working here to avoid this sinking ship

Pros

Some good people to work with but a lot of them have one foot out the door. You’ll find enough people in the company to trauma bond with

Cons

They have no idea what they are doing. Everything is a great idea, and is almost never backed by strategy. There has not been a single product or initiative that has worked since the original Pay Advance, which has also reached it saturation irrespective of how much marketing they do. They think the reason people leave or don’t cross probation is because it’s too difficult to find the right fit. The reality is that they want other teams to do jobs than main the product team is incapable of doing - finance must do product pricing, compliance must do product design, engineering must do product management. The secret to success in this company is to be an egoistic leader with so called great ideas, or to be a “yes” person to said egoistic leader. If you are neither, you are either not valued or are fired.
