Pros

The compensation package, including salary and benefits, is definitely above the industry norm. It’s one of the few redeeming aspects of the company.

Cons

- The workplace atmosphere? Think of a half-eaten sandwich left on your desk overnight—stale, uninviting, and uninspiring. - Employee engagement is at an all-time low, and "satisfaction" seems like a foreign concept here. - The management? Well, let’s just say they're as effective at leadership as a ship without a captain in a storm.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We genuinely value insights like yours, especially from someone with your tenure at Checkout.com. We’re glad to hear that our compensation package meets your expectations, as we strive to offer competitive rewards that align with the hard work and dedication of our team members. However, we understand that compensation alone doesn’t create a fulfilling work environment, and it’s clear you’ve experienced challenges that need to be addressed. At Checkout.com, we encourage autonomy and believe that everyone has the opportunity to take ownership of their work, lead projects, and grow within our fast-paced environment. We have structured career paths designed to fairly reward performance, as part of our commitment to a high-performance and reward culture. The rapid growth we’ve experienced does bring about change, and we recognize that change can be challenging. However, this growth also opens up significant opportunities for employees to expand their scope, tackle more complex work, and make a meaningful impact. We take feedback seriously, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard. This is why we hold regular Q&A sessions with our executive team to promote transparency and create safe spaces for open dialogue. We’re constantly striving to improve communication across the organization and ensure that our employees feel connected and supported. While we acknowledge that our fast-paced environment may not be for everyone, it does offer exceptional opportunities for development, learning, and advancement. Our flat organizational structure allows for broad scopes of work, enabling employees to take on more responsibility and grow in their careers. Thank you again for your feedback. We remain committed to improving the employee experience and fostering a collaborative, motivating environment.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
