Pros

Young, multicultural atmosphere in an international, entrepreneurial environment. Wear what you want to work. No stuffy corporate clothes.


Cons

Morally and ethically questionable business practice! Hire and fire / High turnover in staff / Suddenly vacant desks all year round Mass firing/redundancy on the one day, throwing a bar tab in celebration the next day.. No transparency or reasons given to staff which contributes to the already unstable and negative work environment.
 Internal communication is horrible. Management gives conflicting directions to operation and sales teams on a daily bases. They change their minds, processes and targets all the time. In the end everything is done to max Gross Profit, no matter what. They don't care about customer or merchant satisfaction. Long hours! And they ask you to work weekends as well. Management are unfortunately more often than not painfully unqualified giving jobs to unqualified, inexperienced girlfriend/partner.

Pros

The flexibility to seek and approach every business you may think is viable to be feature on the platform. Hyper growth days were amazing!

Cons

sales are driven by market behaviour irrespective of how good you are. Top level management without any ground level experience will destroy any sales teams. Huge turn over in staff.

Cons

CEOs pets get high mgmt jobs when they don't have qualifications or experience.

Sneaky work practices, unethical behaviours, reward those who make money but are children within the company
