Pros: The senior leadership team genuinely cares about the product and mission in the fintech startup space. They're often transparent with company goals, which is good. As a software engineer, I appreciated knowing the "why" behind projects.
Cons: Decision-making can be slow and sometimes feels disconnected from daily operations. There's not enough clear communication from higher-ups about strategic shifts. Middle management sometimes struggles to translate that into actionable tasks for engineering roles.
Advice to Management: Work on clearer communication channels from executive leadership down to individual contributor engineering roles. Empower middle management more to make decisions.
