Pros

Company makes a lot of money. Located within 1 mile of 11 different pubs to help drown your sorrows.

Cons

The company has a megalomaniacal attitude which churns through executives over & over, by treating them like incompetent fools, via tactics that include public screaming, belittlement, impatience, and rudeness. You will be the expert in your field until a simple misunderstanding then it will be made clear to whomever in the room that you are not the right person for the position you are representing.

Pros

Joining this company has been well beyond my expectations. The culture is incredibly supportive, for the talent team (Mollie) combined with the training, nothing has beenless than exceptional, and the benefits reflect a true investment in employees. It's easy to understand why the company was recognized as one of the best fintech companies to work for in 2023. From day one, I've felt welcomed, valued, and set up for success. I feel incredibly humbled and grateful to be part of such a talented and people-focused organization. If you get the chance.. dont hesitate

Cons

Wished I had started my career here years ago!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Everyone on the team was absolutely thrilled to read this, and it is a true honor to have you working with us as a Partnership Director. We are glad our training and benefits made you feel supported from day one. We work hard to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported from the start! This is what we call being Experience Focused. Your shout out to our training program also hits right at the heart of our core value of Intellectual Curiosity AND gave our Learning & Development team a reason to high five, so I am grateful for that! Thank you again for taking time out of your busy day to provide us with this feedback; We appreciate you!

Pros

I’ve worked at North for several years and have had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally during my time here. One of the biggest positives is that the company promotes from within and gives people opportunities to advance if they consistently perform and take initiative. Leadership roles are attainable, and hard work does get recognized. The sales environment is fast-paced and performance driven, which can be a great fit for motivated individuals who enjoy challenges and growth. I’ve worked with a lot of genuinely supportive coworkers and leaders who are willing to help newer employees develop their skills. Like most sales organizations, there can be pressure tied to goals and metrics, and work-life balance may fluctuate depending on your role and workload. The pace is not for everyone, especially if you prefer a slower or more structured environment. Communication and processes can also evolve quickly, which sometimes creates growing pains. Overall, I would recommend the company to someone who is ambitious, coachable, and looking for long-term growth opportunities in sales or payments. Your experience here will largely depend on the effort you put in and your willingness to adapt in a high-performance environment.

Cons

My cons aren’t really cons. My entire review is a pro.
