Pros

Remote work. Benefits. Salary can be an advantage, depending on role and their annual organizational updates! It’s become a bad look and trust/ethics killer for employees

Cons

The annual (sometimes more) reorgs (maybe it’s a strategy of some sorts, above my pay grade?!?) that are exhausting for majority, the total lack of actually BEING an inclusive and supportive organization-they talk all about it but don’t walk the walk. Has literally become a walking bucket of toxic waste and environment. Watch out for layoffs, with every round you have just reinforced the need for this review-never backfilling or promoting/filling the roles you eliminate leaving teams skeletal and WORSE for work life balance for the ones left standing!

Pros

Good Benefits Remote/Hybrid Work Great employees

Cons

Organization goes through a reorg about every 3-4 months. Company struggles to keep good talent. Solid DE&I team but slow progress as hiring managers are not committed to ensuring qualified minorities are hired let alone in positions of influence. Pay Equity - Compensation is significantly under industry standards. Organization struggling to determine their position in the Payments echosphere. Most people are overworked and mentally exhausted, teams are balancing heavy workloads and tight timelines. Minimal opportunities for advancement. Company politics are in heavy play, if you are part of the "club" you can do well. Employee engagement surveys are very telling but initiatives to address top concerns are often lost in the shuffle as a result of reorgs, lost talent, changes in direction. Annual employee performance is based on subjective feedback across peer groups vs key metrics. Differences in opinion/approach are not well received unless you are part of the club. Very little opportunities to work smart as organization lacks the technology and infrastructure to drive efficiency and automation. Various systems are out of date and dont talk to each other. Be prepared to leverage manual tracking mechanisms and make updates are several systems and spreadsheets. All reporting platforms have data integrity challenges due to outdated systems and disbandment of Reporting/IT teams years ago through another reorg. I could go on, no company is perfect but if you value working smart, growth opportunities and having your voice heard this is certainly not the place.

Pros

Remote work for all dev teams

Cons

Culture has gone downhill and is no longer about people. Management in IT is weak and communication is poor. It is now just a place to work - nothing special.
