Pros

Global colleagues are generally responsive

Cons

The early leadership team members expated to APAC were extremely micromanaging, to the point of what you wear (even for a casual lunch), how you speak internally with colleagues and externally with clients and partners, even in a small team there was enforced hierarchy (nobody could challenge them)

Pros

Great work life balance. Solid startup culture. Minimal micro management. Good compensation and career trajectory.

Cons

Tends not to be a very “sexy” industry, but boring pays the bills.

Pros

Ekata fosters a strong, collaborative community with great colleagues and competitive benefits, including a 401K match, 21 PTO days, Anthem healthcare, and a stock purchase discount program.

Cons

Following Ekata's acquisition by Mastercard, employees have reported increased burnout due to a prolonged hiring freeze, outdated financial systems, poor cross-department communication, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and slow decision-making have hindered both operations and customer experience.
