Pros

Beer in fridge and coffee machine.

Cons

This company is built on layers of yes men on top of one another. Good and intelligent people get fired every other day and disappear because they are not yes men. EM in payments has a bunch of cronie followers and they are her hench men. You get fired if you irritate them or put a suggestion on their PR. Include couple of yes men in another teams you got full control over everything. You want to survive here, the thing to follow is say yes to everything they say, praise them for their intelligence. Say they are the best. Sometimes they get snarky and irritated, may be you touched his headphones accidentally may be you did not like his comment on slack. Apologize then and there. Else the next feedback session you might be fired or get a strong negative review. Some people are just plain racist. Just on your face. You say that you are offended, you get fired . You have no team spirit.

Extremely disappointing

Pros

Free fruits and drinks every day, free lunch on Wednesday’s

Cons

The worst part is that during the interview process they make you believe that you will be working with high quality and standards, the truth couldn’t be further than that, priorities constantly changing, large unaligned teams constantly shifting around, unclear goals. The mindset is to push out to production fast and low quality code full of bugs, that then is constantly being patched. For such a young company there is already a lot of tech debt, never have I seen before such a mess and spaghetti code. Even new developments are quite messy, there is a huge lack of design and planning, One of the things I remember they asked me in the interview was “Do you know the difference between a programmer and a Software Engineer?” I ask the question back, Do you?
