Pros

- Small but ridiculously intelligent and talented team. - Huge focus on code quality and test coverage. Owners are all computer science graduates and get that solid software takes time. Because of this the vast majority of your time is spent developing, not bug fixing. - If you need hardware/books/classes or anything else to make your life easier they will immediately order it. - Tech stack is solid and always up to date. - Zero micromanagement. Need to run errands? Do it. Need to go take a break and clear your mind? Do it. Take responsibility for yourself. - Freedom to work on things you are passionate about and to explore ways of bringing more value to the software. - Honestly one of the best code bases you will ever work in. Everyone is meticulous and thoughtful with their code and it really shows.

Cons

- Vacation takes a bit of time to accrue. - Would be nice to have a 4-10 option but that is a fairly minor gripe. - Hesitant to call this a con, but standards are ridiculously high so it always takes a long time to fill positions. This should probably be a pro but I felt the need to comes up with some negatives.

Pros

PayJunction is a rare organization where leadership genuinely lives out its brand pillars and promises. There is a strong commitment to integrity, transparency, and partnership - not just in words, but in how decisions are made and how people are treated. The culture is one where employees feel included, heard, and valued. There is a clear sense that your work matters, and leadership is consistently asking how they can improve and better support the organization. That mindset creates real trust and engagement. The founders set the tone in a meaningful way. They take the time to know their people, invest in their growth, and encourage career development in a way that feels intentional and genuine. The people here are truly exceptional - thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable. Cross-functional collaboration is a real strength, and teams work together with a shared focus on outcomes. PayJunction runs lean, but with high impact. There is a clear vision for growth, and the company balances performance with strong relationships and a healthy respect for work-life balance. Coming from larger organizations, this has been a refreshing experience. PayJunction has not lost sight of the individual while continuing to scale thoughtfully. I am incredibly grateful to be part of this team and excited about what is ahead.

Cons

Because the company operates lean, there are not always multiple roles or rapid upward moves available at any given time. That said, there is still a strong focus on growth and development within roles

Pros

Bootstrapped for 25 years so the culture is 100% controlled by the founders and they care about employee health and growth. Excellent Health Care(best I've ever had). Not shy to technology(Slack, Outreach, Zoominfo, Salesforce, ChatGPT and more). Every leader/executive has an open door policy and you feel heard. Culture Comity works hard to provide perks & events that make it feel like one big family. Payment Technology is VERY unique and has massive upside if your looking to sell something non-traditional. This is NOT a traditional payments company(and I've worked for them all), transparency, integrity and they do not cut corners on anything.

Cons

Lean company(100~ Employees) so if you don't like being expected to own your outcome+, this might not be right for you.
