Pros

The London office is nice, which is good news, because you are going to spend a lot of time in there.

Cons

- Toxic Senior Management: I have never worked somewhere where most of upper senior management is so incompetent, self-entitled, and more focused on shifting blame downstream than learning or improving. The few heads of department who appear to know what they are doing must quickly adapt to the same pattern of political manoeuvring and clique-enabling, or risk becoming targets themselves. The result is shambolic. This is not a company that is moving fast, this is a shipwreck in a storm. - Zero work-life balance. You are expected to be working and reachable at all times. The CTO openly complains about why people are not working at weekends. - Hard work is not recognised. There are many people at Teya who work extremely hard to make a difference. Unless you are part of the clique, or have the right relationship with someone who is, recognition will not come. Your hard work will quickly become your new baseline, and it won't save you from being unceremoniously let go if you lack the right backing.

Pros

SaltPay has an incredible belief in young talent. Very few companies give so much responsibility to people still early in their careers. Young 20-year-olds are granted guidance from extremely successful directors and are urged to run the business and make mistakes. Everyone has a direct line to Edu and Ali. Weekly all-hands meetings are used for anyone in the company to ask questions for the leaders in a segment called Real Talk. The level of transparency and lack of hierarchy is very high. People are empowered to challenge leadership and present their own data-driven opinions. The lack of hierarchy helps foster fluidity so that people can easily change their priorities and work on new projects that they believe will bring more value.

Cons

Since the mission of serving all SMEs in Europe is extremely challenging it is common to see people working long hours to achieve it. It's not frowned upon to leave work earlier (at 6pm) but the culture is based around getting results done and this means people end up wanting to stay longer in order to deliver.
