Pros

Shift4 Payments is an extremely fast-growing company and a wonderful place to work!They treat you like a person, not an employee. That’s reflected in the benefits and how management approaches employees. During my first 3 years at Shift4 Payments I've met some of the most talented people ever. I believe my experience and my skills helped other people get better at what they do. And also, I learned a lot from them.

Cons

It’s hard to write cons because I genuinely enjoy the company. There are challenges that you have to deal with. But in my experience, those challenges in every company in different stages. Our growth as a company and also as a unit in Lithuania was enormous and that resulted in learning how to deal with certain obstacles as they arise. So for people who are not fond of challenges and believe in perfect world, this situation may seem like "Cons". For me - it is part of my personal growth.

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.
