Pros

- Some colleagues were smart, driven, and collaborative. - Exposure to fintech and investment topics early on.

Cons

- Leadership fosters a toxic culture, with inappropriate and discriminatory comments made in public forums. At one all-hands, the founder explicitly told female employees not to get pregnant because the company wouldn't support maternity leave. - There’s no recognition for individual contributions — even when you bring in significant sales or deals. - The company relies heavily on interns doing manual work, which leadership misleadingly refers to as “automation.” - No clear KPIs or performance metrics are given, making accountability and growth extremely difficult.
