Pros

Recently came to the company with a referral from a current employee. Understanding some of the history and growing pains, I've been really impressed by where the leadership is at right now. It seems like they're really hitting their stride this year and my initial impressions have been extremely positive. I feel supported and encouraged to bring my best to the table. It's also an exciting time to be joining with lots of momentum with new customers and partnerships!

Cons

Still a little rough around the edges when it comes to knowing what they need but the vision is there and the puzzle pieces appear to be falling into place. If you can handle some ambiguity, it's fine.

Pros

Dynamic fintech has hit its stride and is entering hyper growth phase. Work hard/ play hard environment with focus on winning together. Energetic and talented team, great office, hybrid schedule with 3 days in greenwich village office.

Cons

Start-up still in lean mode. Benefits seem above market for a series B startup but not on par with a large corporate enterprise

Pros

- Prior CEO transitioned away from day to day. CFO took over as CEO. Seems positive shift so far. More reasonable expectations, less baggage. Eager to see how things continue to change. - Work/life balance. Work hours are reasonable. No expectation to answer Slack/email 24/7. - Really smart, nice people. Paid lunch through GrubHub when in the office. Often have happy hours in the office or places around Union Sq. - Comp isn't top of market, but healthy. Equity is strong. - PTO for the week between Xmas and New Year's.

Cons

- Shifting expectations. With new leadership, it's not always clear how those expectations differ from before. Indications are that new goals are achievable, less pie in the sky. We'll see. - Team growth has been stagnant. There seems to be more momentum now, but the balance of hiring with cost savings should lean more on hiring.
