The employee experience has gotten worse recently. It's much harder to get raises now, and when you do, they're smaller. Benefits like stock options have also decreased over time, at least from what I've heard. Getting promoted is tough. To move up, you often need to impress the founders by meeting their impossible goals or being their favorite. Managers have their favorites too, and to get ahead, you will need to socialize with them. Drink with them. Small talk with them. It's clear who these favorites are in the company, and if you're purely focused on doing your job well, it's tough to move up or earn more. The company feels less like a startup and is starting to feel like a big corporation now. It's harder to try new things because of all the approvals needed from managers and founders. Teams like marketing and platforms aren't as flexible anymore and need lots of sign-offs before they can do anything important. Despite the company having a flat structure, everyone's job is so broad that you end up doing a bit of everything. It's good for learning but not so great for advancing your career. Managers are disorganized and each team has its own goals, which makes it hard for them to work together. It often feels like every team is out for themselves, which can create a competitive and unfriendly atmosphere. Overall, the company used to feel like one big team, but now it's more like everyone is in their own corner. Communication between the leaders and employees isn't as open as it used to be, and there aren't regular meetings to keep everyone informed. Instead of working together smoothly, each team is kind of on their own, trying to figure things out without much support.

you cannot grow here. so hard to be promoted because they dont follow clear job descriptions and promotions, just keep adding workload. also, where is this company even headed? they are following very unethical protocols in handling customer concerns, even those concerning the financial services leg of the company (which should be done securely to protect sensitive customer information). they take advantage of customers financial illiteracy to get profit from the loans services. they require some teams to conduct field work but do not give allowance for the field work expenses like gas and toll. they laid off in Q1 and they will have layoffs again soon. they keep people who suck up to management but are not even good at their jobs?. salary matrix is dependent on how close and how often you drink out with some leaders. targets are becoming too unattainable because the leaders do not know how to streamline certain processes. firefighting everyday is the normal here. no salary increases (not even the minimum to keep up with inflation), no proper KPIs, just do whatever urgent emergency the leadership throws at you. also sometimes unprofessional vibe at the office (we work from home but some days we are required to go onsite) since there are groups of people who talk so loudly, as if they are drinking at a bar. overall this business idea has so much potential but some of the leaders/founders who run the company are just clueless and not qualified to lead certain projects or departments.
