Not a tech focused company.

Pros

Has a mediocre food pantry.

Cons

Terrible work/life balance unless you live in a country that forces better balance. Changes come at any time based on the whim of leadership. Pretends to be a tech culture but any actual technical discussions is viewed as detrimental to the working environment. Compensation is well below market.

Pros

Fast paced, Good events, Good benefits

Cons

Was targeted for a direct hire position that wasn’t posted in careers, to recruit me away from a prestigious company. They presented a really good offer and TC. I was shown the office, C Suite execs, and the workplace. Which looked very promising. Upon coming into the organization, I experienced very poor communication across different teams, poor management in IT that led to major communication roadblocks and battles. Also a very lacking security executive who was not very knowledgeable in his own domains. As fast as they hire, they do fire. I’ve seen PIPs get handed out with no prior negative feedback, then when meet all goals and manage to beat it, they will extend to be able to fire you for any other issues that may occur. Things I’ve seen and experienced are as follows: - Discrimination - Favoritism - Lack of direction - Lack of empathy - Poor work life balance (they expect 4 days in office, 9 hour shifts) - Poor communication with cross functional teams

Pros

I’ve had a positive experience working with the Clear Street India engineering team. The overall culture is collaborative and respectful, with a strong focus on building high-quality systems in a fast-growing fintech environment. There is good potential for learning and growth, both from an engineering perspective (scalable systems, modern tech stack, ownership-driven teams) and from exposure to the fintech and capital markets domain. Compensation, perks, and benefits are aligned with good Indian market standards, and the company shows intent to invest in engineering talent and long-term capability building. Overall, it’s a good place for engineers who want meaningful ownership, domain learning in fintech, and growth opportunities in a scaling organization.

Cons

The India team is currently small and still in the process of scaling. As the organization grows, there may be a need to further strengthen local finance and support functions to better enable teams in the longer term.
