What do SWEs at fintech companies think about them? Is there a particular cultural difference with traditional tech companies? Do you like them or dislike them overall in comparison if you've been at both?
Most of the time those are startups trying to make themselves look cool. You can ignore the term, look at company and take your opinion. EverythingTech is a thing, like InsurTech.
If they are founded by someone from the finance side the culture will be similar to finance, more waterfall and less respect for engineers
They pay peanuts
I think the margins are lower so it’s less chill
