      For your consideration

      Pros

      Free food? CEO thinks that free food is the answer to all of the company's problems.

      Cons

      I would do three things to get a sense of how horrible this place is. 1) Read the reviews on here. 2) Read how the CEO responds and notices the language and things he chooses to talk about. Would you consider this appropriate language? 3) Google "Paymentwall lawsuit". The evidence is here and the CEO and his cronies are squarely to blame. If you're still not convinced, go for an interview. It will be very entertaining. My time at Paymentwall was...a waste of time.

      Worst experience ever - humiliating, disgraceful behavior from Top Management

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      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. HR and read other real reviews

      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.

      Toxic work environment. Sinking ship with many holes

      Pros

      You'll be working upwards of 12-hr days, (10-hr minimum, guaranteed. Wish I was joking) Work-life balance? Quatsch! They'll try and justify this because "it's a startup". Ha! They've been trying to use that excuse for 4 years. *Disclaimer: You'll notice the only good reviews on here were all written within a week of each other. Coincidence? I think not. You can figure out what's really going on here, the writing's on the wall.

      Cons

      The even bigger tragedy is that you can't even put this company on your resume for a few reasons: 1)Nobody has ever heard of Paymentwall, even "competitors" 2)Those who have heard of PW, do not have even remotely nice things to say. Go to any conference, ask around the industry, you'll find out real quick. 3)Reference? No. "Management" would rather go out of their way to sabotage former employees. Do yourself a favor and message any former employees on LinkedIn, find out for you self.

      It is true that we work long hours. No doubt about it. But how do you expect to put a company on your resume if you only could survive there for 3 weeks and then claim to have worked there for 6 months to make it look good on Linkedin? We do our best to keep our good people, we motivate them with anything we can and give them the freedom to achieve whatever they think will help us grow at the same time, we also do our best to get rid of the people who don't belong here because of their low quality work, or low quality work ethics. Unfortunately, it is difficult to identify these during the interview process. What allows people to stay at Paymentwall is good quality work, ambition to thrive and be part of a global success and satisfaction you get from achieving results at our scale, not everyone appreciates this and you can contact them on Linkedin too.
