Pros

The business does focus a lot on employee wellbeing and welfare. Offers good benefits of employment, along with regular winter wellbeing afternoons, summer hours, activities and sharing materials. There is a lot of opportunity to learn and vocalize areas that you'd like to be involved in. The business is very open to people who come with suggestions on how processes can be improved and gives individuals the freedom to make their own changes. The teams that I work with are largely hardworking and passionate about what they do and all share the same goals and values. Lots of diversity and inclusivity focus groups, Paysafe encourages employee participation. Regular anonymous employee surveys.

Cons

The business has gone through a lot of change recently that hasn't been communicated or managed very well. A lot of focus on costs recently (lots of restructuring and a hiring freeze), when it's not costs that are the issues. Hard to get motivated to work for a business that isn't growing in line with forecasts/poor stock price for some time. While there is a lot to learn to keep you interested, the workload is unsustainable, especially with a current hiring freeze. Work life balance during quarter close is hard to manage, have to be strong in setting boundaries otherwise quite easy to fall into the trap of working long hours. Bonus scheme is initially attractive although partly weighted on Group performance (which hasn't been great since Covid), so 10% on paper actually ends up being more like 5%. Lots of recent M&A has helped with growth although processes have taken a while to attempt to integrate (still not resolved). Causes kinks in close procedures and feels like we have a lot of different teams doing the same thing.

Pros

I recently joined the Paysafe team. My experience has been very positive. The onboarding process was well organized, informative and smooth from the start. The team has been super welcoming and supportive. It is clear that the company values its employees and creates and environment where new team members feel comfortable, included and motivated to succeed.

Cons

As a new employee, there is naturally a lot of information to absorb during the onboarding process, but the support provided has made it manageable and encouraging.

Pros

• The company offers some flexibility with remote/hybrid work options in certain teams. • Exposure to fintech and payment processing technology can be interesting for those new to the industry. • Decent health benefits and standard PTO in many locations.

Cons

• For the third consecutive year, the company has failed to pay out performance bonuses despite meeting or exceeding individual and team targets. It seems that they set very high budgets deliberately so no variable pay is paid. This has significantly impacted morale and trust in leadership. • Compensation overall feels below market rate for the skills required, especially when bonuses (which were promised as part of the total package) are consistently withheld. • Frequent reorganizations and shifting priorities create uncertainty and make it difficult to plan long-term. • Communication from senior leadership about financial performance and bonus decisions has been poor and lacks transparency. • They constantly lay off people to make up for losses in revenue.
