Pros

- Nice building and fantastic cafeteria - Decent benefits. 401K match of up to 4% and it vests immediately! - One day work-from-home, at least on the IT side - Reasonably family friendly

Cons

- Ancient infrastructure and technology due to complete lack of investment. Never seen email going down for days until I came here. Any it's happened more than once.... - Below average pay - Limited career opportunities - Continuous layoffs now (due to offshoring) rather than the old "May layoffs" approach - Employee attitufes can also be behind-the times (e.g. non-collaborative, this is the way I've always done it) because there are a number of long-timers that have never worked anywhere else

Pros

Hands-On Experience with Modern Infrastructure Friendly and Supportive Culture Great Resume Builder Work-Life Balance If you value a supportive team culture, a manageable workload, and building high-scale professional project experience, a Global Payments internship is a fantastic stepping stone, especially for launching a career in FinTech or platform engineering.

Cons

Uncertainty Around Full-Time Pipeline Varying Tech Stacks by Team: Because the company encompasses many different product lines and acquired systems, your experience can vary wildly depending on the specific team you land on. Some teams work on cutting-edge, next-gen cloud platforms, while others are tasked with maintaining or upgrading older legacy architectures.
