Pros

A few decent people. Made some good friends. Everything was great going through the recruiting process. Salary was a fairly competitive for my senior role until I realized the VP who I reported to was expecting me to split myself into three people and get all their work done. I was essentially taking the fall for the fact that he hadn't the slightest clue what he was doing.

Cons

Like the other review posted on here. Extremely click-ish environment. One only fostered by an overdose of low self esteem and insecure individuals and a management that rewards "activity" and not "results". Two months into this gig and I was getting hard positive client deployment results that no some were barely getting in 6 months to a year. After consistently getting positive feedback from VP I was suddenly let go with no explanation. When I calmly requested a reason, VP acted like a complete child when confronted. HR manager did a complete about face on me (probably insecure like everyone) instead of engaging in a constructive dialogue. I which I stopped her in her tracks. Word around the company after I left was that I became hostile. My assessment was VP mismanaged his unit, company was hemorrhaging cash and his solution was to cut my Senior salary which came with some performance based benefits which were about to vest, I also had proof of performance and was about to meet my first hard milestone. This is a big deal considering how ridiculously complicated and cumbersome their product was. Beware you will be sold into taking a job here with catch phases like "flat organization" and "start-up environment" but you are on your own from day one. You alone against everyone else. I doubt anyone in this company knows what a start-up looks like. The "flat organization" tells me there is lack of leadership and an unwillingness for anyone to step up and take control. The majority of the payments industry is largely unnecessary. A lot of what goes on at this company is no exception.

Pros

The work is easy and simple

Cons

Assume rather than ask. Paranoid, stereotyping, gaslighting, backstabbing foreigner employees who just complain all day about America, the people who work there, and Trump. They tell you they don’t know when they do, tell you that you can’t read because the broken english SOPs that they claimed didn’t exist at first are unreadable and inaccurate, weird conversations about jail, weed, and what’s wrong with black people, saying I don’t think they’re capable without asking any relevant information, everyone is not the trash you see pushed on tv. Surprise, surprise when you belittle people they leave or screw you that’s why they got hacked. It’s also not only towards black people be wary of working here if you’re not Hmong, Indian, Mexican, White or already know these people you will be seen as an outsider and it will be an uphill battle with all your coworkers playing stupid games ie. giving you others work to see if you’ll notice, devices you’re not trained on, putting devices they moved days ago at the back of your queue to see if you’re following FIFO and to mess up your 5 days to complete, claiming you don’t know anything about excel or computers but not asking anything and being surprised when you just do it or explain it way more in depth than they thought possible, scared when you use search operators, keybinds, and manage insane amounts of programs easily even though thats kind of what you need to do this applies to the production area the other areas seemed semi-normal.
