Pros

You might work with some great people. The building is nice considering they require 5 days in office.

Cons

99% turnover since the company was founded. There's literally one employee who's been there since day one. A CEO/Founder who is out of his depth, makes decisions that don't align with even the most basic business principles, and hires and fires at a moments notice without communication and any semblance of a plan to address major losses of key players and the subsequent fallout. Products have been shelved, because there was either no real plan or true business case for even starting work on them. Teams that were hired to launch these were of course let go, which makes sense on a budgetary level but shows a clear lack of understanding the importance of market research to validate a products development before scaling. Existing products suffer from a lack of direction and an inability to understand or straight disregard for what customers actually want—therefore feature rollouts lack value. Layoffs occur monthly, usually in small batches and very quietly on a Friday. For employees that have been there for more than 6 months, Friday's are synonymous with finding out your coworker was escorted out of the building and handed a box with their stuff in it. The charge card product lacks industry parity with players like Ramp or Bill and the direction (minimal at best) is disconnected and not strategic. Culture is bad, no other way to say it...it's just really bad. And it comes from the top. The poor reviews here on Glassdoor are real. Consider them carefully before applying or accepting a role with Finfare, Fancy, or any other company associated with them.

Pros

- Everything people say about the games, free lunches (4 days a week), and snacks is true. - Engineers have the flexibility to work in a hybrid setup with a very flexible schedule. (But I love coming to the office every day—maybe -Finfare gives me enough passion to do that.) - The company is full of talented Backend and Frontend engineers from whom you can learn every day. - Hard work is recognized with promotions, raises, and bonuses. - Management has accepted and listened to direct and honest feedback without hard feelings, improving processes as a result. - HR has improved its processes to help employees feel comfortable sharing their feelings about their managers, the company, and any general processes, and is willing to act on that feedback, contributing to organizational growth. - Many great products are live, and more are being built. I have been with Finfare for almost two years and have gone through both good and hard times, but overall, it has been a great experience. Regarding job security at Finfare, I always apply the concept of working in a startup as, "If you are a very good partner or spouse, nobody wants to leave you." Believe me, just keep doing the right thing, and you will be rewarded.

Cons

Excessive documentation will lead to a slower development process and an increased maintenance burden.

Job security was uncertain due to regular layoffs. Employees faced layoffs despite strong performance and contributions.
