Pros

Continuous Improvement has Dynamics trending in a positive direction. The product solves issues with credit cards that are becoming more prevalent in today’s world. These issues potentially affect everyone. Resolution requires state of the art tech that challenges and encourages engineers to think out of the box. There are positive signs of growth and the tech is winning innovative based awards at consumer electronics shows. The lean company structure is typical of a startup, but it allows the individual employee to manage all facets of projects and it presents opportunity to expand experience and knowledge. As evidenced by a few previous reviews, being a part of something that has not been done before requires a certain amount of effort and time along with a willingness to accept some failures. This is typical of new technology where rules are not written; they have to be learned. The tech is not easy; if it was, then it would already exist. This company has improved over time and there are some pieces in place that are typical of established companies, but there is still work to be done. There are signs that indicate more positive growth and improvement will occur.

Cons

As with any startup, there can be periods during which extended hours are necessary. The product is not a normal consumer product that you buy at a store. Credit card offerings take time to develop not only the product, but the infrastructure and systems to make it all work within a secure environment. It can be frustrating at times developing a product that has to work world-wide while adhering to standards and equipment that can vary country to country or even store to store. There is pressure to perform as with any company. There are really talented people at the company; resource limitations typical at a startup exist, but are improving.

Pros

Since day one I have been treated as if I have been part of the team for 10 years. They really understand a work/life balance. The team is great and very helpful. CEO is very knowledgable and shares his knowledge and helps others learn. The enviroment is very team oriented and they take the time to catch everyone up to speed, even with previous projects. Good benefits. Cutting edge industry changing projects.

Cons

Computers could use some updating.

Pros

The people you suffer with are the only highlight

Cons

- The stale/stagnant upper "management" (They're not really management because the CEO micromanages absolutely everything). - The CEO tells everyone they are useless so that they won't feel like they deserve a raise. - The CEO wants to only hire desperate people because, they have no where else to go. - The CEO micromanages everything and prevents engineers from engineering solutions (the whole point of their job) - The CEO has extremely bad "good idea fairy syndrome" where he enacts last second changes to processes, software, equipment, etc. without any input. Those decisions lead to extra support needed on weekends, significantly slowed processes, and pointing fingers at everyone else for being the problem. - The CEO will never admit he makes mistakes, calls you a liar when you call him out and show him evidence, and challenges people to blame him for the issues occuring - I could go on and on, but you have to understand at this point that you shouldn't be working here. Do not believe the fake 'good' reviews on here. The CEO says that Glassdoor is for collecting negative reviews so that Glassdoor can hold the company for ransom to remove all the bad reviews for a large sum of money.
