Pros

Great company culture, strong leadership, and a highly motivated team. Backd is growing quickly, which creates a lot of opportunity for professional development, ownership, and meaningful impact. The work is challenging in a good way, and it is exciting to be part of a company that is helping small businesses access the funding they need.

Cons

As with any fast-growing company, priorities can shift quickly and the pace can be demanding at times. That said, this also creates a lot of opportunity for employees who enjoy taking ownership, solving problems, and working in a dynamic environment.

Pros

Smart, collaborative team with a genuinely fun culture. Leadership is accessible and the environment encourages ownership. The AI and fintech exposure here is real; I've developed skills I wouldn't have gotten at a comparable company. If you're interested in AI adoption and automation in a hands-on way, this is a good place to build that knowledge fast.

Cons

The pace is high and expectations follow. The company is in growth mode, which means processes and structure are still catching up to the workload. If you're looking for a predictable, steady environment, it may feel like a stretch at times.

Pros

Culture and Teamwork: Team works closely together, collaborate on projects and initiatives, multiple team events to build relationships Flexibility: Work in office 5 days a week but leadership is understanding with scheduling when challenges arise and allow for appointments, early departures, late arrivals for employees as needed. AI: Utilizing AI to transform the business and giving employees exposure.

Cons

Industry Demands: Payment Processing, Finance, and Technology is fast-paced and requires rapid change. Tight timelines can be overwhelming and development struggles to keep up. Prioritization: Priorities can change rapidly given the challenges of industry demand and client demands- need to find a healthier balance of completing projects on time and ensuring alignment on the next priorities. Perfect is the enemy of good- need to shift the mindset from "flawless completion" to iterative progress where it makes sense.
