Pros

-Well established company in the payments industry, with great opportunities for carrear development -Good compensation -Good overall conditions -Low team turnover

Cons

-Legacy software with no plans to reform it -Weird obsession hiring scrum master per team, they bring so much noice and not value. -Mandatory presence at the office -Stuck for years to come with an external company managing all the infrastructure. They take literally months to delivery simple things that any average engineer would provide in hours with any automation tool
