Pros

Great place to start your Career. Good team and lot of opportunities to gain experience.

Cons

No real appreciation for the work that being done. No increase in your compensation while new hired earn more than you. Always coming up with something to make your life harder ie, change from salaried to hourly based. They even offer you to different departments with more workload without matching up your compensation. Funny part is that they treat this as an operating to grow which I don’t see.

Pros

Great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with large-scale payment systems and work alongside talented engineering teams. I developed a strong understanding of payment processing, backend systems, and enterprise technology while working on challenging, high-impact projects.

Cons

Executive leadership often seemed disconnected from the realities of running the business, with limited visibility into team capacity and the long-term impact that repeated layoffs had on product quality, customer experience, and operational effectiveness. Many managers and directors were strong technical contributors but lacked the people leadership skills needed to build and support high-performing teams. My experience included frequent micromanagement, unrealistic expectations, public criticism, and a tendency to assign blame rather than encourage collaboration. This created a culture of low morale and made it difficult for employees to do their best work.
