Pros

- Great team members - Compelling value proposition - Market leadership position

Cons

- Probably the worst CEO, in terms of people leadership, in my career. Insulting, demeaning, and worse still, deluded into thinking that his product is a premium product - The worst delivery organization I've seen in 30 years in fintech. Nothing but broken promises and empty gestures. Customers are completely justified in leaving this platform as quickly as possible - Totally inadequate business support; given the treatment by the CEO, we can't keep finance people long enough to pay our bills - senior leadership is a turnstile; we hire good people but they run for the hills once they see the depth of the dishonesty and dysfunction

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
