Pros

Great compensation Team Culture, Communication Team spirit Awesome line of communication from top to bottom. You can contact anyone on the company through slack. Even top tier will reply back to you.

Cons

Recently went public and when that happens, they’re focused on growth over everything. I was my managers only rep and they moved him to a different role simply because his boss didn’t want to do it. Then I was placed under a different manager who lived two states away and was expected to commute there 2x per week just to make phone calls at the office. This new manager wanted me to buddy up with other reps to go out and close deals without giving instructions on who would get the commission or how it would be split. Communication was horrible and I had to walk away. Now I hear they’re looking to be acquired by one of two large companies. I feel sorry for the employees because I think it’s going to be an operations nightmare.

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.
