Pros

This is a place that will constantly challenge you. You can grow in every way. People are treated like people. The work is valuable. Flexible schedule. Meaningful but few meetings.

Cons

Work is set up around an office (because of pair programming), so if you don't like going into an office, you're at a slight disadvantage.

Thanks for the feedback and I agree - not having a million meetings is a great perk! I checked in with some of our product leads and we do have tools that allow pair programming at home/remote. Feel free to mention this to your manager or ask co-workers. Shana Sternstein, Head of Talent

Pros

Teammates are smart and motivated. Constant collaboration across projects; always opportunities to learn and get better at your job. They don't explicitly look for candidates with background in the payments industry, so there is a lot diversity in professional backgrounds.

Cons

It's a fast paced environment, so there are a lot of temporary fixes that will inevitably break.
