      Pros

      Highly collaborative work environment that values the ideas of it's employees. A great place to work if you want opportunities to contribute at a high level.

      Cons

      Fast moving organization with lots of change. If you are not open to change it is not a great place for you.

      The people - bright, sociable, kind, thoughtful. A fusion of the best of Google and Apple culture.

      Pros

      It's uplifting and delightful when small business owners write to us about how our software helped their business thrive by being efficient and making the right business decisions. Unlimited vacation is wonderful and opens up workplace dynamics you wouldn't see otherwise - wanna work from another city/country for a few weeks? Go right ahead, you could have taken it as vacation anyway. Need to help a friend move? Feeling tired? Take some time off. Food is phenomenal. Perks are great. The highlight is still the people.

      Cons

      Competition in the payments space is fierce and there are some serious 800-pound gorillas in the room (Amazon, Paypal, Apple, Google) - you don't get the comfortable security of knowing that massive network effects guarantee company success like you would at a place like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Uber, etc. There's a certain hit to morale seeing the explosive success of all these other companies while we slowly fight against the bureaucracy of governments, banks and financial systems, but I think we will outlive them all.

      Pros

      The company grows very fast! And everyone grows with the company together. Engineers here are very talented, and people are collaborating a lot here, so I can always learn new stuff from my peers.

      Cons

      When a company grows really really fast, it's hard to manage the resources to make sure everyone is working on the most important thing. The company also needs to adjust the strategy, the organization to fit the changes of the market, etc.
