Pros

- Great company culture - Organised structure for a large-ish company (still feel like you add value) - Taught as you work, for example I didn't know any Go when I joined, and now I can write Go code quite proficiently - Great code base and architecture, can learn a lot from it

Cons

I am writing this review in light of the recent retrenchments, so the future of working here feels a bit on edge. It is likely I won't be an employee here much longer, but the time I spent here was thoroughly enjoyable. I do think Luno will still succeed in the future, but the retrenchments have left a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths

Pros

- Huge top-down focus on culture and People topics: trusting in employees and empowering them, making people the best possl - The vast majority of people here are above average smart and kind - One of the most exciting companies to work for with massive transformative purpose and enormous ambitions (1 billion customers by 2030) - In the US, it feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity to join as one of the early employees and be part of making history

Cons

- scaling challenges with internal coordination, planning and decision making across offices and regions around the world - the business and organization here in the US is completely new, so a lot of things will take a while to work smoothly and you have to be ok with that - scaling the team fast enough for our ambitions - some people don't like that the culture can be "too nice" at times
