Pros

Great Teams, Great Talent, friendly environment. Conscientious, progressive upper management.

Cons

You can progress and grow if you're talented at Marqeta, but our engineering management is still learning how to center empathy. The worst of this is that instead of building community, a small number of people still get by on playing politics. Their behavior is not publicly addressed. It would be great to hear the CEO, CPO or ET discuss what it means to support your fellow engineers. Interpersonal relationships matter. Managers and Principals come from other companies, and they don't realize that they are not at X company anymore. Their methods might be useful, but they don't know how to make those contributions based on the Marqeta Way and with Marqeta Values.

Marqeta Response

Thank you for the feedback. These are important points. We are absolutely committed to building a culture of trust and accountability, not one governed by politics. Among other things, this means we set clear goals together, we do what we say we're going to do and we hold each other accountable to those results. But it also means we allow each other to make mistakes, to learn and trust that growth will come from those experiences. As we welcome more talented people into Marqeta, we need to do more to help those individuals understand the culture and how we support each other. I welcome any additional feedback and please don’t hesitate to come to me directly.
