Pros

SessionM is an incredibly exciting company to be a part of. It has quickly become a very mature startup/leader in the marketplace that sees value in hard working, kind and, collaborative people. SessionM gives employees a unique opportunity to learn from and engage with all divisions of the company. It is widely acknowledged that every person plays a critical role in the development and success of the company. Every day is filled which challenging, exciting, and worthwhile work.

Cons

Like many startups, employees are expected to put in 150% every day. If you aren't prepared to work hard day in and day out, it's not a good fit. SessionM also requires flexible people who can restructure their projects and priorities. You may need to complete a task at the drop of the dime, which can be demanding.

Zero Accountability

Pros

Good benefits, open to input and ideas, good people, not a toxic culture.

Cons

Product and engineering do not prioritize the platform enhancements well at all. We have a number of critical items that have just been ignored for years. They have provided so many target dates for product releases that have gotten pushed not just quarters but years. Many that were promised to clients verbally by executives and in their contracts, and not released several years later. Engineering seems to have zero accountability. How Lars has tolerated this for so long, I don't understand. Hoping that Mastercard will figure out what's going on, and start to hold them accountable. There is so much potential with this platform, its honestly a shame.

Uncertain Future

Pros

A lot of smart people along with a startup environment before acquisition.

Cons

Long hours and overnight on-call shifts are expected. Uncertain future with the retail and restaurant industry facing challenging times. Company was acquired by MasterCard creating further uncertainty.
