Pros
* Great exposure to large-scale systems and real user impact * Strong tech stack and modern engineering practices * Surrounded by smart, tech-savvy colleagues that accelerate growth * Good business understanding across teams; you're close to revenue-driving features * High ownership with autonomy to make decisions and rapidly build products
Cons
* Frequent late evening and weekend deployments * Being a user-facing fintech product, any issue raised on social media must be resolved immediately — even on holidays/weekends * Uncertainty around job security — witnessed several colleagues being laid off * Sudden mandates to return to office, even for employees hired in different locations * Lack of transparency around LTPs and delays in appraisals, partly due to RBI sanctions
