Pros

- Lots of ownership opportunities since the team (in FinTech) was only 3-4 months old when I joined (late 2018) - Got to design and implement major features/projects E2E - Good WLB, but this was because of the department/team being FinTech and only facing internal customers

Cons

- Lack of strong mentorship in the team/department - was basically figuring things out myself after 6+ months and setting standards

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
