Good people bad leadership - Senior Sofyware Engineer CommonBond Employee Review

Managers were down to earth for the most part and flexible hour. Easy to get time off and fair pay

Some coworkers can be hard to get along

The biggest pro of CommonBond, without question, is the people. If you work with great people you: a) Learn more b) Enjoy your day more c) Find yourself intellectually challenged I've found that CommonBond has delivered on all 3 of these (which they told me would be the case when I interviewed). Even though we've grown a ton (especially in the last 6 months), all the new people we're hiring seem consistently bright, friendly, and incredibly hardworking. Beyond that, as a startup, I really like the energy here and the environment...people are working hard but interactions with people are relaxed and friendly, no matter what their level/title is. Lastly, I love our Social Promise....the company did a really cool trip where we took several of our borrowers and team members to Ghana to see the students we're helping...it's something really inspiring that I havent experienced at any previous company I've been at.

It's a startup so it can be a bit chaotic at times...that said, I think that that may just be a startup thing. Priorities can shift quickly and you need to be able to keep up. We work really hard...we do it because we really enjoy what we do, but I think it's worth saying that if you come to CommonBond you should expect to put in significant time into your role.
