Pros

The location, the people, the culture, the diversity, the fun, the shared goal of trying make payments easy and accessible to all.

Cons

The salary. The yearly reviews are very small even if you get 5/5, such as 2% if you reached top of pay grade which is very unfair. Also if you get promotion it's about the promotion and asking for more money is taboo and frowned on.

Pros

Great teams, ok compensation, good offices, opportunities are good depending on teams. It's a close-nit group of people once you are in.

Cons

Sometimes there aren't opportunities to progress and it is hard to grow your career. Salaries are not that good as in other tech companies. Sometimes there isn't clarity on strategic direction.
