Stake has an employee rating of 3.8 out of 5 stars, based on 56 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have a good working experience there. The Stake employee rating is in line with the average (within 1 standard deviation) for employers within the Financeiro industry (3.7 stars).
Stake has now passed most of the initial product development and matured into an early-stage scale-up company. Opportunities now exist to work on an internationally expanding product at the intersection of tech and finance. A core component of culture-fit is a love of financial markets and investments - if that sounds like you, Stake will have a lot to offer. They have now had a few iterations of running internships for university students, which I highly recommend.
Cons
To get the most out of the experience as an engineer, you really need to be passionate about financial markets and investments. It really is a fundamental component of the company culture and if you're not personally interested in trading/investment, you won't be getting the most out of being there.
