Pros

- pantries with snacks, coffee and drinks, but i think this can be improved. Please add more stuffs as we have quite number of always-hungry-people here - RSU - sabbatical leaves after 4 years - cool TLs and manager, no micromanagement - friendly teammates

Cons

- small office, no sleeping room for short nap - salary is reasonable but for payment ops, i think we should be rewarded more, hopefully in the near future it will

Pros

Pay is good, though doesn't quite align with CoL for the area. People here are nice enough.

Cons

Mandatory 3 days in office is not great. There is no reason for us to not be fully remote. Weekend work is awful and no one likes it. Its made worse by the way it's implemented (2-3 weekend days, with a random day off in the middle of the week that almost never aligns with another day off). Definitely kills anything resembling work/life balance. Poor communication between departments, though there does appear to be strides being made towards fixing this. KPI expectations undergoing an overhaul, but requirements are still unclear. Company would do well to establish SOPs for their major workflows. This would aid in both upscaling (much easier to learn a process) and speed (allows the workflows to handled by rote, making for more efficient and consistent case handling).
