Pros

Instant has been a great place to work so far. A startup with funding in place, management that has a history of successfully launching other companies, a great business model, and is seeking to make the world a better place. Instant is seeking to "Empower Working Lives". We have a new way of doing payrole that enables employees to get todays pay today when they need it. So they're able to pay their bills without late fees, payroll loans, etc. Management moves at an aggressive pace, while respecting and listening to their employees. Employees are able to work very flexible hours, so long as they can get the work done. Ontario employees work from home too!

Cons

Team has Staff in Montreal, Vancouver, Tampa FL, and Ontario. So while we are in constant communication on Slack and have regular team calls, face-to-face doesn't happen as often as would be nice.

Pros

- a great product that will really have a positive impact on society - can help some of the most financially vulnerable people in our society avoid the debt trap. - really cutting-edge technology and tools, with a commitment to building things the right way, not just the easiest/quickest/cheapest way - a team of friendly, fun, good people who really care about and believe in what we're doing - completely flexible work hours and conditions - as long as you get your work done and attend all scheduled meetings, as a developer nobody cares where you physically are or what specific hours of the day you decide to work - still a small enough company that there are no layers of bureaucracy, no strictly defined roles or rules... if there's something you really want to do, a new role you want to take on, there's nothing stopping you, suggest it to management and more likely than not they'll say "sure, let's do it!"

Cons

- perhaps unavoidable in such early days of a startup, but everyone's sort of working ALL the time... it can be hard to fully switch off or disconnect from work, there's a kind of unspoken expectation that everyone is online and at the very least monitoring Slack at all times of the day, 7 days a week
