Pros

Work from home or from the office, great colleagues, snacks and drinks when you're in the office. Regular Q&A with the leadership team to stay in touch with what is happening in the company as well as ask any questions we may have. Well known app with a global presence (North America and Europe) which opens up opportunities for working abroad.

Cons

Its definitely a tough time for PBP. No new products in a long time and, in the mobile payment industry, PBP is not as competitive as they like to think. Legacy products are not being replaced, new features and products are constantly pushed down the road map which makes managing client expectations very exhausting. Sales team obviously struggles with selling PBP. Priorities are all over. Regular outages. Management wants to do well but with a very high level of employee turnover, it seems that we're constantly training new hire to learn the product instead of having people who have the industry knowledge and experience to actually make a difference. Vacation is at 3 weeks and no matter how many times management will tell us how generous that is, we all know that it's actually below industry standards and below what other similar companies offer. (Parkmobile for example) In addition, vacation days don't increase with seniority, so unless you're promoted to a manager role, you will have 3 weeks vacation until you retire. I don't believe that PBP is competitive enough in that aspect to attract and keep top talents.

Pros

- Great people - Work/Life balance (though this depends on the team) - Good intentions - Soon-to-be new office

Cons

- Priorities are constantly shifting and everything is a top priority - An extreme focus on profitability to the detriment of the Development and Product teams - Leadership seems to be disconnected from Product and Development which results in a lack of support from the highest level - Teams are constantly overworked, burnt-out, and not receiving the additional resources they need - Depending on your team, on-call requirements can be quite excessive due to the fragile nature of the application - Attrition is very high. Lots of knowledge is walking out the door which makes it hard for teams to do their jobs and results in few people truly having in-depth knowledge about the application

Thank you sincerely for sharing your thoughts. We have been on a rapid growth path and more recently have taken a pause to transform and work on addressing some of our resulting opportunities including but not limited to enhanced quarterly planning, increased communication and collaboration, work-life balance and total rewards . You have brought forward some meaningful feedback and we would love to chat more with you – both the leadership team (most especially our new CTO who has been meeting with everyone and likely by now has met with you as well), as well as People & Culture and encourage you to reach out to us people@paybyphone.com.
