Pros

Very strong engineering culture, knowledgeable and helpful team makes, flat structure and lightweight processes

Cons

Rare salary increases, periods of high workload with need to clearly communicate and push back when too much pressure - it's not easy for many people. When reported though, leadership takes it with understanding and take steps to improve situation

Pros

1. Talent - The people are intelligent, hard-working and ambitious, which allows the company to move quickly. You learn a lot working here. 2. Product market fit - No ambitious company succeeds without pivots and doubling down on areas that bring value. Shares has a bright future, especially now that it's making significant ground in the wealth management & savings spaces. 3. Flexibility - You're trusted to work your own way. Great offices, remote working/work from abroad policy, and other flexible working benefits.

Cons

Limited resource (although this is changing) - You'll be required to take on tasks beyond your remit. However, at what startup/ambitious company is this not the case? Shares is investing more in resource again, with key hires being made from mid-2025 onwards. This has already helped relieve the strain on current employees. I understand some former employees are frustrated after their positions were let go, but ultimately, I can only give an honest review of my own experience at Shares.
