      Pros

      Home to some of the brightest engineering minds in the EU fintech space. The tech-stack is quite modern, with cutting-edge tools and systems. Most of the team is highly collaborative, there is a strong culture of willingness to help. Junior engineers can learn a great deal and develop their skills.

      Cons

      The management presents significant challenges. There is a pervasive lack of trust. The leadership often makes decisions based on ego rather than merit. People have been let go with little notice simply because higher-ups didn't like something they said or proposed. The pressure to meet impossible deadlines is constant. While the learning opportunities are there, promotions are rare, and career growth can feel stifled.

      Pros

      1. Smart people 2. Company is growing 3. People are professional and motivated

      Cons

      1. Forced curve means you can work hard and be fired. 20% of the company is fired for performance every 12 months. This leads to politics, the more senior you get. Got unlucky to not work on a critical project - potentially fired. Others in the team are older and better adjusted with management - potentially fired. 2. Salary is not premium enough to justify the effort and risk. You can get a bad rating for being unlucky to be in wrong team or project. 3. No engineering leadership 4. They downlevel you during hiring and promotions take more than hard work and delivery. 5. Senior, Mid all are rated together. Very tough to get rated and promoted as a junior. Overall thankless and similar effort anywhere else would get you more scope, growth, compensation. If you don't want to work hard, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work hard, you could grow more elsewhere.

      We set high standards to keep our company focused and we recognize that this level of ambition creates a demanding environment that may not suit everyone. While we maintain these expectations to drive our mission forward, we appreciate the dedication of those who contribute to our growth.
