Pros

Some remote work (until they took most of it away)

Cons

This was hands down the worst job I have ever had. Management does not care about you as a person, all they care about is making money. They constantly implement policies without the input of the people who are actually doing the job, therefore making your life harder than it should be. They do not value your opinion nor care and the CEO is out of touch with the common person and also does not care about the little guy. The jobs mostly consist of talking to many angry people on the phone all day, it is very draining both mentally and morale-wise. The compensation is decent, however this company does not do yearly raises so don't expect to keep up with the rising cost of inflation. They just want warm bodies to put on the phone to be abused by the people that call in. Dont be fooled by the positions they post either. Tiers in this company also do not exist. It does not matter if you have 10 years experience in IT or none, you will all be lumped in together, there are no separation of job duties. The only benefit of this company is that some jobs are remote. However, this company called a back-to-office order recently and so if you live near an office you will be expected to commute. There is also no way to move up in this company as there are no career advancement paths whatsoever. You have to know someone or be related to someone to advance here. This company is just a high turnover call center at this point and overall I would avoid this company if you value your sanity, time and self worth

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.
