Pros

The mission around financial technology and helping users manage debt is meaningful.

Cons

It didn't take long to notice how often product direction changed. Features would get started, partially built, and then suddenly deprioritized. That meant going back and reworking things that already took time to build. Instead of improving the product step by step, it felt like jumping from one idea to the next. That kind of stop-and-go development made it hard to feel like anything was actually getting finished. After a while, it just felt like effort was being wasted more than anything.

- The atmosphere is cold, unwelcoming, and full of tension. - Office politics dominate and create constant conflict. - Those in charge spread negativity and encourage hostile behavior. - Verbal abuse and disrespect are frequent, making daily tasks exhausting and discouraging. - Every day feels like navigating a minefield with no support or relief.
