Pros

Well run company and engineering department. Nice and supportive coworkers. It's a company that has a mission and really believes in it and it's ability to improve people's lives. Opportunity to travel to work with others and to experience the African markets the company operates in.

Cons

Engineering is fully remote, which can be a little isolating. That said, people are always willing to jump on a call. Pay is on the low side.

Pros

* seasoned managers with strong emotional intelligence and knack for coming up with creative solutions to unconventional problems * genuinely shared moral conviction across organization to the importance of working to increase economic equity * strong sense of generosity and collaboration across all technical teams * uniform and passionate org-wide commitment to a culture of learning that results in dramatic personal growth * genuine commitment to people living rich and fulfilling lives outside of work and an extremely nourishing vacation policy * Wave has hands-down some of the most talented and insightful programmers I have ever worked with

Cons

* remote work can be taxing with such a far-flung team, particularly without ability to meet in person as much due to COVID
