If they succeed, it'll be by accident + Toxic Culture

Pros

- The product and vision is unreal and truly disruptive to the industry - there is so much potential there (see Cons on why this won't happen). - 100% medical coverage - Above-average pay in the Utah area - A lot of autonomy in my job.

Cons

A few other posts have mentioned this: Divvy has a bro-culture through and through, especially on the sales side. This is common in the start-up space, so not unheard of for a company at this size & maturity. The bigger elephant in the room for Divvy is the preferencial treatment and bias towards employees who are part of the "community" here in Utah. If you are not part of that community, you are often ignored and excluded. I believe this to be mostly unconscious - when you hire mostly from one particular group, it's bound to exclude those who are not part of that group. There is also a serious diveristy problem at Divvy. The recent layoffs removed, coincidentally, most of the people of color that were at the company. Now the vast majority of the company are white males who went to BYU. They pretend the lift-up POC and the LGBQT+ community, however it seems to just be a farce. Most of those faces you see on their recruitment video (which were very obviously picked for a reason), are no longer with Divvy, and not of their own choice. Culture aside, Senior and Executive Management are vastly lacking any kind of experience. As the title states, I believe that if Divvy succeeds as a company, it will be by sheer accident and not the strategic leadership or vision of the leaders. And unfortunately, the company is doing so well that the board likely doesn't notice the immaturity of the leaders in charge, so they won't make a change. The amount of pivoting across the company in terms of focuses and priorities is dizzying, and yet there's still no clear strategy for how the company will succeed. They are incredibly short-sighted, focusing and celebrating winning Utah companies, while competitors like Brex and Airbase are taking over the rest of the US.

Starting to Slip

Pros

When I first started working at Divvy, the company culture was great, the work was exciting, and the company really seemed to care about its employees. It was, at that point, the best job I had experienced in my now 30-year career. Other pros included: 1. Free snacks and meals. 2. $100 per month, on top of your salary, to spend as you wish. 3. $1,000 per year to spend on vacation. 4. Paid technical conferences. 5. Managers who know how to code. In the beginning, the company was such that I wrote it a five-star review here on Glassdoor. I also wrote two positive pieces for Divvy's social media efforts and referred Divvy to several other engineers.

Cons

While many of the pros are still available at Divvy, the company is starting to slip. They recently hired several new managers in engineering. Since this hire, Divvy's culture has gone out of the window in favor of self-promotion, lying, abuse of authority, and manipulation to achieve personal objectives rather than team/company goals. Unfortunately, instead of protecting the values and culture that made Divvy a great place to work, Divvy has decided to protect these new managers and excuse their deceit (and in one case their violation of the law). There were always minor cons to working at Divvy, such as a tendency to value the number of Git merges into the master branch over well-written, bug-free code; however, these quirks were manageable. I believe these new issues, which embrace and nurture each of the dysfunctional behaviors described in the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni, mark the beginning of Divvy's decline.

Pros

Young workforce, energetic culture, nice perks, nice people

Cons

Ways to be successful at Divvy. Be mormon, born and raised in Utah county, have no payments experience, play politics, go to BYU, be white/male, have a sales / FP&A background, worked at one of the tech companies in the Wasatch valley, know or be related to someone at Divvy.
