Pave

One of the best teams I've had a pleasure working with - everyone is very open-minded and fun to work with, so I always look forward to the next day at work. When you miss your teammates, while on vacation - I think it says something about how special Pave people are!

There is a strong culture of being open and honest about both positives and negatives - whatever it's work related or just the way we work together as a team. And most importantly, everyone takes feedback to heart and we iterate to make things better all the time as a result.

While we have in-house data team, that helps us create data-driven products, the date-driven approach can be seen in every corner of the company - from the way we send emails to how we decide what to build or improve next. That allows for high confidence in how we spend our time, which is the most crucial resource at a startup

I've never been given more space to learn and try things more quickly than when I started working at Pave. It's the kind of place where if you prove that you're smart and competent you'll be given more responsibility. I was writing policies for the whole company (I run operations) during my first week, joining calls with investors in my first month, and managing relationships with key stakeholders independently almost immediately.

What a team! Some of the weirdest, loudest, funniest people I've ever met. No one is an asshole and I'd happily get a drink with anyone on the team any day of the week.

Pave is a company really genuinely guided by it's values. I frequently hear people across the company, including the CEO, reference "member's first" or "obligation to dissent" when making hard decisions. I am confident that we will consistently make the best decisions we can for our members -- even if it makes our work harder -- which I think is a rare thing in the financial services industry.

It's certainly the sort of place where you can see some real masters of their craft at work, whether it be in engineering, product, growth, support etc! The technical challenges and depth of knowledge across the team mean everyday you have opportunities to learn and also deepen understanding 👌

We are on the side of the Consumer in the consumer finance space. For decades (maybe more?) banks and credit bureaus have been calling the shots when it comes to financial mobility but we are empowering the consumer through meaningful engagement, education, and, actually giving a sh*t about them!

There is no issue in voicing your opinions or concerns. The CEO and COO are always within arms reach, as is my direct manager for when I need them. This is definitely a company which prides itself on ensuring all employees, at all levels and teams, feel comfortable and confident discussing ideas with each other.

I love working for Pave because every day we make a meaningfully positive impact on people's lives. The drive to continually do better and the obligation to dissent makes our work very stimulating.

My colleagues are growth minded and want to bring their A game all of the time. No one is complacent, and I really feel like I learn something new every day whether it's in my own domain or from experts in other teams.

The leadership at every level is super strong and very inspiring. Our vision and ambition are both lofty and we are all supported as people and in pursuit of changing our customer's lives for the better.

We are working on something that *really* matters, and you get feedback from real users about how our product is changing their life for the better. It's ridiculously motivating every day!

A huge focus on doing remote properly and making sure that people are looked after properly — a lot of the values we take from our people focussed mission carry into the way staff are treated as well.

The team is incredible, everybody is just amazing to work with — you get up every day looking forward to seeing everybody. Not many teams I've worked on made me feel this way, and it's incredibly motivating.

Your work has a big impact in the company and is recognised as such. You're asked to spearhead your work and be a champion in thinking outside the box.

The strong social mission is talked about frequently. You really know who you're working for - the customers. I like to know I'm contributing to making the lives of others better in my own way.

It's great that the value you bring to the company is what matters. The times allow you to work when works best for you and the results are the most important part.
