Pros

- free food - offices in good locations

Cons

- CEO is verbally and emotionally abusive - No sign of professional leadership skills, one is constantly faced with criticism of trivial nature - Employees are randomly attacked for their personal characteristics incl. appearance - Very high staff turnover - 24/ availability is a must. Being off sick is not accepted, your integrity & commitment to the company will be questioned - Some people are spying on your work & private life - Very low salaries - Lies are part of the internal communication to e.g. badmouth other/former employees - Advice: Do not trust anyone incl.

Some people come to interview really nicely dressed up, then the day they start working, they come to the office in their underwear and pajamas, it's particularly special when we have clients visiting us or when we have a bank meeting. It really represents the "startup" culture in San Francisco and Amsterdam to have employees dressed up in their bedroom attire. But we are guilty, we make everyone work 24/7/365 with no weekends off, no vacation and no sick days so these employees have no time to go home and change. We will take note of this and try to give them an hour or two break to end this drama once and for all. We particularly enjoy working with very honest colleagues who get sick on the day they have a vacation planned to London and who don't come to work but call in sick and still make it to their flight.

Pros

I was challenged to always be curious and uncover things during the development process. I picked up learnings, not just within my scope but was also exposed to other departments and their importance and functions. I have learned to embrace the unknown.

Cons

Difficulties and emotions involved when starting from scratch.

Pros

It boasts of having an all-in-one payment platform for ambitious merchants taking over the worldwide market, helping them run their businesses from day one.

Cons

The work hours were brutally long, stressful, and exhausting, as employees had to work with people from different time zones and sacrifice their work-life balance. After giving their 11-%, employees like me got terrible pay and no appreciation from their bosses. It was awful. Please stay away if you want recognition or financial rewards for extra efforts.
