I'm Interviewing with WePay for a Senior Software Engineer position. I'm impressed with their engineers background and their tech blogs. Seems like a good place to work. They got acquired by Chase and are going to move to a new location in Palo Alto. I wanted to know if you guys have any thoughts on the future of the company and it competing with square & stripe. They are backed by Chase which I guess is a good thing in terms of financial backing and company stability, but I'd like to hear any thoughts/criticism.
As for your question, Chase does seem serious about trying new things, and they can bankroll it. Seems like it could be interesting. I don't have any experience on the FinTech side though.
Good to hear. I don't have any FinTech experience either.
WeWork CEO bought the word “we”, so WePay might have to change their name; and that could hurt the momentum.
I believe the line between Chase and WePay will blur over time and end users will call it "Chase-something"
We had Chase Pay but the app was very recently retired. The web checkout is remaining for vendor services, but as far as I know, the app is dead in the water. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/08/21/jp-morgan-to-scrap-digital-wallet-app-chase-pay.html
Not on engineering team but WePay Engineers are much stronger than their Chase counterparts. Right now it’s treated as an independent ‘butterfly’ but in the years to come, will get more integrated with Chase. Will impact Chase at large with superior Engineering tech and talents.
Well, it's not the We company, so that's a major plus. I expect layoffs at We soon.
I agree. There are signs pointing that the We employees are to be under tension right now.
