Pros
1. Talent - The people are intelligent, hard-working and ambitious, which allows the company to move quickly. You learn a lot working here. 2. Product market fit - No ambitious company succeeds without pivots and doubling down on areas that bring value. Shares has a bright future, especially now that it's making significant ground in the wealth management & savings spaces. 3. Flexibility - You're trusted to work your own way. Great offices, remote working/work from abroad policy, and other flexible working benefits.
Cons
Limited resource (although this is changing) - You'll be required to take on tasks beyond your remit. However, at what startup/ambitious company is this not the case? Shares is investing more in resource again, with key hires being made from mid-2025 onwards. This has already helped relieve the strain on current employees. I understand some former employees are frustrated after their positions were let go, but ultimately, I can only give an honest review of my own experience at Shares.
