Pros
The product itself is solid — AI for financial institutions is a growing space, and there’s genuine innovation happening. The customers are engaged, and there’s real potential to make an impact. My team was talented and hardworking, and I appreciated the autonomy I had in how I ran things day-to-day. There’s a start-up energy here that’s exciting if you’re looking for fast-paced environments.Where things fell short for me was at the top — leadership is still very founder-driven, and decision-making can feel reactive and centralized. It was hard to align long-term strategy with rapidly shifting priorities, which made it tough to plan and scale sustainably. Internal communication isn’t as strong as it should be, and there’s a tendency to value hustle over structured, strategic thinking.
