First week as a Product Engineer at Finto, summarized: Anyone who says startups don’t have perks clearly hasn’t worked here. Week one already included cheesecake, Nudelsalat, Weißwurst & Brezeln, plus a team dinner. Lunch breaks somehow end with intense Curve Fever battles, and let’s just say the game is testing a few people’s patience. On the work side, the learning curve is steep. I’ve discovered more dev tools this week than I knew existed before joining. And “AI-first” here isn’t just a buzzword, it’s an actual daily debate about whether to burn Claude, Codex, or Cursor credits first. Feels like the right place to be.
