Pros

Nice offices. Maybe if the same effort and care was put into the employees as into decorating the offices, it would be a different company. Probably not though, because it would still be run by the same people.

Cons

I should have known from how disorganised and absurd the interview was, and how little respect was shown, that this would be a disaster. I was warned by other employees to watch out for the CEO during my first week already. Tasks, directions, job descriptions are all reassigned and changed at the CEO's whim. Colleagues tattle on each other behind each other's back about any little thing, no matter how insignificant, like it is highschool. Management gets involved with what little personal life you are permitted to have. Unless you worship the company and are the CEO's pet, you are useless, underperforming or a loser. Everyone the CEO doesn't like is a loser. Customers are losers. Staff are losers. Competitors are losers. The CEO is verbally abusive, degrading, immature, unreasonable and controlling. Micromanagement abounds. The only purpose the company seems to serve is to sustain the lifestyle of management. How they are still in business is baffling. They are either completely unknown in the industry or if they are known, it is because someone has had a run-in with the CEO, often with him threatening to sue. They will lie and try to manipulate you. Staff turnover is ridiculous - that alone should tell you enough.

We change people's jobs and titles if they fail their tasks to not have to fire them and to give them a second chance, so they can explore an area they might be strong at. Some people should be fired right away without giving them second chances but we have a 3 strike rule and we keep our promise.

Pros

I was challenged to always be curious and uncover things during the development process. I picked up learnings, not just within my scope but was also exposed to other departments and their importance and functions. I have learned to embrace the unknown.

Cons

Difficulties and emotions involved when starting from scratch.

Pros

It boasts of having an all-in-one payment platform for ambitious merchants taking over the worldwide market, helping them run their businesses from day one.

Cons

The work hours were brutally long, stressful, and exhausting, as employees had to work with people from different time zones and sacrifice their work-life balance. After giving their 11-%, employees like me got terrible pay and no appreciation from their bosses. It was awful. Please stay away if you want recognition or financial rewards for extra efforts.
