AI Insights:
Plaid is where smart, humble people build fintech infrastructure together - collaborative, low-ego, and genuinely mission-driven. WLB is decent if you land the right team, though 'unlimited PTO' means approximately 17 days if you're lucky and your manager isn't in a meeting. The IPO has been 'coming soon' for so long it's practically a company tradition, and the best way to get a raise is apparently to join a competitor and come back.
