Pros

* Good place to learn if you don't afraid to jump into new projects * Good growth potential if you've got into a good team with a good manager (until certain level). See more in cons. * A lot of interesting people to work with across the globe (depends on the position) * People mostly very keen and friendly

Cons

* Too much politics at top management * Top management is not very keen to apply their "costs & efficiency" optimizations to themselves. * Company's strategy is good but the path to achieve it is controversial and misleading * Company is not interested in keeping its loyal & experienced people * Compensation package is below average of the market * Growth potential highly depends on a team and manager you would get. And at some point later it will be capped by cramped promotion & budgeting rules * "Internal mobility" is just 2 fancy words without real deal behind * Very complex and cramped communication process with the teams responsible for core solutions * Project company which is struggling to become a Product company with no luck

Pros

Supportive team members who are willing to answer questions and provide guidance. The environment offers valuable insight into how large scale payment systems operate, which is beneficial for anyone interested in fintech or enterprise technology.

Cons

The internship-to-full-time pipeline lacks structure and transparency. Interns were told entry level roles would open, but timelines and follow through were unclear, leaving many in extended intern positions without defined conversion pathways. There appears to be an overreliance on long term interns as cost effective operational support rather than investing in structured development and conversion planning. Some interns remain in role well beyond a typical internship cycle, creating uncertainty around long term stability. Communication around hiring forecasts and headcount planning can feel overly optimistic. Expectations may be set publicly, but updates on budget constraints or shifting priorities are not communicated with the same clarity. Career progression for early talent is ambiguous. Without proactive sponsorship and clearly defined benchmarks, interns may struggle to understand what tangible milestones lead to permanent placement.
