Comfortable company, on-top of things, but with an old-fashioned mindset
Pros
- Package and benefits is interesting. Working in HQ is an asset in itself (amazing facilities) - Niche market in the financial industry which opens up to an interesting job which involves working with international high value payments and its ecosystem - Technology used is usually modern and interesting - Turnover is limited, which has the advantage of having experienced colleagues who know what they are doing. Plus, they are usually experienced and very nice. :) - International company putting a lot of energy in inclusion and employee's wellbeing
Cons
- Company policies and way of working is super rigid, creating a lot f frustrations for people who are used to deliver software quickly - Small teams can be Agile, but the company is not. The company did a complete Agile transformation and turned their back on it. Current mindset from higher management is zero trust on delivery teams. This results in the enforcement of waterfall-like flows including bureaucratic mandatory paperwork, review boards and overly complex processes.
