      Good place to work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Speaking on the engineering side, there is a lot of autonomy. If you have an idea and some gumption you can make a big impact. Legacy parts of the stack are mostly deprecated and we have great tools and modern practices (lots of movement on this in last year or so). People genuinely aligned on the mission. Recent CTO placement (VP was acting as cto anyway) is great, both for the company and the general culture, especially for the engineering side.

      Cons

      Covid related layoffs were a big hit to morale. No extra pay for being on call. Some weird resistance to embracing a distributed team.

      Big turnaround over the past year

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - intelligent teammates across the company that care about the product and company - great product and engineering leadership are very approachable, they listen and trust those they work with - very transparent communication and insight into how the company is doing - always moving to the latest and greatest tech and tools when it makes sense to do so

      Cons

      - there’s some tech debt so sometimes it feels as if things aren’t moving as fast as we’d like even when they are - in the past there’s been hyper focus on product instead of engineering, although we’ve shifted more to focus on engineering and tech debt, it’s a bit difficult to strike the right balance between the two - onboarding is kind of chaotic, there’s no rock solid onbording plan for engineers

      Classical mid-stage startup - full of fun, and challenges!

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Mission driven - Great mission. Genuine passion across the organization to help the under-served. It feels great to work for a company that truly prioritizes helping people. 2. Transparent culture - Leadership team shares company financials with the team every month. We know exactly where the company stands. Leadership recently started to present board deck to the team. It is awesome to be treated as owners! 3. Strong product market fit - Ability to access money you have earned in advance and only pay what you feel is fair, including $0. For those who need services like this, this is holy grail. Very high NPS (net promoter score) and solid user retention. 4. Great career opportunities - There are tons of interesting challenges for the engineers to learn and grow. People are promoted based on performance. If you do an exceptional job, they will not wait to promote you. I know someone got 3 promotions in 2 years. This is insane, in a good way!

      Cons

      1. Rough product experience - There are quite some rough edges in the complicated product experience. It hurts to see many people want to use the app but are unable to do so due to product issues. Encouraged to see the leadership team put a lot more focus on improving product experience recently. 2. Technical debt - The team is moving to micro services, but there is still quite some technical debt in the legacy systems. 3. The handling of layoff in March could have been better - The team used to be very tight-knit, felt like a family before COVID. Many of us got caught off guard when the layoff came. This led to a good number of negative reviews on Glassdoor in the last few months. Not sure what is the best way to handle it, but given the unique culture of the company, the leadership team could have at least given people some heads-up.
