Intensely challenging, but great perks

Pros

Health/Wellness Benefits Hybrid model Culture/People is best I've ever experienced Exciting window into hottest fin-tech trends on weekly firesides Will definitely bump into one of the Collison brothers if you stay long enough.

Cons

HEAVILY disorganized sales tooling + longest and most technical sales process you've ever experienced Upward mobility seems intentionally difficult and mysterious Certain verticals and business models are significantly easier to sell into than others (startups vs enterprises for example) but all teams are compensated identically, making your team/vertical one of the biggest determiners of your success.

Pros

- Nice offices - Smart colleagues - Products are surprisingly immature, so there are many opportunities - Hard problems

Cons

- Not the majority, but you’re likely to have a few arrogant and competitive peers and managers on your team who will co-opt your written work, your ideas, your meetings, etc. Everyone has stories about experiencing or witnessing this. - Impact takes a long time to realize because of poor planning, shifting priorities, esp as a dev shop to a handful of users - Equity comp disappointing, and no upside with current equity structure - Opinions matter a lot, so must regularly write op-eds to build a reputation - Most have to create all their own opportunities because managers have too wide a scope to understand their world - Lots of job insecurity lately—quiet layoffs, deflated ratings to manage people out
