Pros

nothing? Fine... Perhaps the fake impression that they are a cool company. And... Getting current employees to leave good reviews of the firm and make everything look rosy.

Cons

- Terribly rude CEO and management. - Shady and high risk business decisions made. If you are interviewing for compliance role, it is best you walk away now. The turnover for compliance team is crazy and if you are smart enough, you will know why. - Stop managing people by fear. Stop making people feel stupid by screaming at them and treating them like slaves. Then again, if you are white, probably life won't be as bad. - Stop hiring a bunch of no experience and knows nothing about fintech strategy people to determine the future of the company. What is the point of hiring someone with consulting background with no relevant experience. - if you are reading this as a interview candidate, my one and only suggestion to you is Don't Join. There's just too many cons.. don't look at the 5 star reviews cause they are Mostly fake. Look at the 1 or 2 stars. Sincere advice and for your own good.

Pros

Good comp and lunch provided via forkable.

Cons

Insanely high number of voluntary resignations, poor work/life balance and progress is slowed due to the concentration of key decision makers based in APAC who work with teams within the United States and EMEA.
