Nuvei reviews

I worked for several years in a product team in Tel Aviv, and recently, I found a new job. Looking back and comparing it to other companies, it’s almost shocking how outdated this place is. It feels like it’s stuck 30 years in the past in terms of technology, with absolutely no real drive to modernize or improve anything related to computing. Every system in place is old, clunky, and held together by makeshift patches instead of proper upgrades. It’s like they’ve been avoiding technological progress altogether, just piling bandaid solutions on top of each other rather than actually fixing or improving anything. The work equipment? A complete joke. I was working on a **six-year-old computer**—a slow, barely functioning relic that should have been retired ages ago. Freezing, crashing, taking forever to load even the simplest tasks—it felt like I was working on a museum artifact rather than a work machine. And it wasn’t just me—**this was the standard across the entire company.** Everyone was stuck with ancient, sluggish hardware that made even the most basic daily tasks a frustrating ordeal. Need new equipment? Good luck. The answer was always “no budget” or “not a priority,” as if basic functionality was some kind of luxury. We didn’t even have proper screens—just old, dim monitors that strained your eyes by midday. The keyboards? Some were so worn out that you had to **slam the keys just to type a sentence.** The mice? Half of them were either unresponsive or double-clicked on their own. And if something broke? **Forget about getting a replacement.** The best you could hope for was someone digging through a forgotten drawer in the IT department, handing you an even older, half-functional replacement and telling you to "make do. Software was another nightmare. **Outdated programs, security vulnerabilities everywhere, and absolutely no modern tools that could boost efficiency.** It was as if the company had made a conscious decision to stay stuck in the early 2000s. Need access to a basic tool that every modern company uses? Get ready for a bureaucratic approval process that could take **weeks, if not months**—only to get a response that “we’ve been doing fine without it so far.” The irony? We weren’t fine. Everything was slow, inefficient, and painful. Honestly, it felt like they were actively sabotaging productivity. While other companies were investing in cloud computing, automation, and AI-driven tools, we were still dealing with **Excel sheets from hell, outdated internal portals that barely functioned, and a VPN so slow it made dial-up look fast.** It wasn’t just frustrating—it was embarrassing. And when it comes to employee benefits—well, there practically aren’t any. Aside from a couple of small gestures around the holidays, there’s nothing that makes employees feel valued. Happy hours? Maybe once a year, if you're lucky. Social atmosphere? Almost nonexistent. The environment is just… dull. The average employee age skews significantly older, and while experience is great, the overall vibe feels more like a slow, reluctant march towards retirement than a dynamic workplace. And then there’s the trust issue. Promises were made, but rarely—if ever—kept. Employees would be reassured about job security, growth opportunities, or changes for the better, only for none of it to actually happen. And the worst part? The way they handled layoffs. People who had poured years of their lives into the company, giving their all, would just disappear overnight. No announcement, no acknowledgment, no transparency. One day they were there, the next—they were gone. No one spoke about it. It was like they never existed. The silence was deafening. The entire company felt like it was trapped in a constant state of low energy, borderline depression. The offices were consistently empty, not because of remote work policies, but because no one wanted to be there. Walking through the halls felt eerie, like wandering through an abandoned building. It wasn’t just a workplace—it was a ghost town, and the longer I stayed, the more I felt like I was becoming one of the ghosts.
