Pros

Some regular events and massages. Nice office. Some of the senior tech people knows their stuff and are very nice, approachable people.

Cons

Look at the recent wave of 5 star reviews, 4 on February 6th, 3 on Feb 12 and 13th, how likely they are a coincidence? That's more than half of the reviews written at this time. There's a clear internal coordination because HR realised that they have difficulties attracting talent. For a technologist, prepare to tolerate the following : Unreasonable deadlines, "high performance culture" means mediocre pay and long hours, lack of any review process means achievements are not recognised and promotions depends on relationship not merit. Rampant favouritism. Lack of diversity (some teams might as well use Hindi/Chinese as work language, as hiring managers only hire their own ethnicity). Promised ownership but give the most meaningless vesting stock option schedule possible. If you are a talented technologist, don't waste your time here like I did. You have much better choices. The company now resembles much larger organisations much more than a start up. It is a sales/marketing driven retail loan company, not a tech company. The tech stack is boring and old, the focus is not on engineering practice but meeting demands of large merchants, and your career will be in a dead end.
